When I was a child back in the 1950's we used to have a TV program called ,Family Theater. It was the brain child of Fr Patrick Peyton

 

They had a production called the Juggler of Notre Dame ,or Our Lady's Juggler. It was a tale about giving from your heart with love

Christmas films?  Too many.

 

Off the top of my head:

 

The Lion in Winter (1968)

A Christmas Carol (just about every version)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the 1966 version)

A Midnight Clear (1992)

The Ref

In Bruges

 

Guilty pleasures:

A Christmas Story

Bad Santa

 

And, strangely, I always think of The Godfather as a Christmas film.

The Godfather I & II. The gift that keeps on giving.

well, technically not a film - but could be - i like the videos of the different major ballet companies doing "The Nutcracker." Ovation sometimes runs quite a variety of same.   the season isn't complete without this classic done in many different ways.

I love them all, but my absolute faves are:

 

”Miracle on 34th Street” - Original version only! With Natalie Wood 

 

Not films but also love “How the Grinch Stole Christmas“ - original cartoon version only with Boris Karloff & “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

@wilma - another one for the original Miracle on 34th Street. 

 

It's the only Christmas movie I watch.

We watch "The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black every year. My Husband luvs "National Lampoon Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo.  We enjoy  the "in-laws" that come to visit (just might remind us of a few of our own in real life!)
