Top 10 TV Christmas Moments

10. Year Without a Santa Claus — The Miser Brother's save this somewhat bland special.
9. The Dick Van Dyke Show (Christmas Ep) — A classic. A tradition in my home.
8. The Andy Griffith Show (Christmas Ep) — Also a classic.
7. A Wish for Wings That Work — Bloom County's X-mas special. Why hasn't this been on every year. Worth looking for.
6. Olive the other Riendeer — Pretty clever could become a classic. Only negative Drew B's singing.
5. Frosty the Snowman — Still hold's up today. WARNING avoid all Frosty sequels!!!
4. Santa Claus is Coming To Town — A classic. I love the Winter Warlock.
3. Charlie Browns Christmas — What can I say a classic all the way. Love the music.
2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas — Dr. Seuss, Chuck Jones, and Boris Karloff need I say more. So much better than movie version.
1. Rudolph the Red Nose Riendeer — Classic

Honorable mention:
Robbie the Riendeer Hooves of Fire (British version)
SCTV (X-mas ep)
John Denver and the Muppets

My top 10 Christmas Movies

10. Christmas Vacation — Pretty funny, a bit long.
9. The Lemon Drop Kid — Bob Hope at his peak. You forget how funny he really was. Got to love the old Christmas movies.
8. A Nighmare Before Christmas — I love the look and feel of this movie.
7. The Bells of St Mary — If you need a fix of Bing I recomend this over White Christmas.
6.The Bishops Wife — Not to be confused with it's remake The Preachers Wife. This has Cary Grant as an Angel. Great cast this movie needs to be seen more.
5. Elf — This movie lacks the sinasism of most of the recent Christmas Movies. It's fun. The endinng is a bit forced.
4. Miricle on 34th Street — The original ONLY! Beware of the remakes.
3. Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) — The Alister Sim version is the best. I also like the George C. Scott version, and the Reginold Owen version.
2. A Christmas Story — This movie hit's it on the money! This is exactly how it is to be a kid at Christmas.
1. It's a Wonderful Life — This is as much a part of Christmas as the tree and gifts.
