Searching for the best Christmas movie…
Watching movies has never been one of my strong suits as a somewhat-ADD dude. After all, a lot of things in life can happen in 92 minutes, and if I’m stuck in front of a TV, I might miss some of it. Going to the theater is better, because then it’s more of an “event” and I’m forced to sit in my seat for the duration with my cell phone on vibrate.
With that in mind, since I have some time off for Christmas, I’d like to fire up the DVD player and watch a good Christmas movie (or perhaps several). I’ve mentioned to a couple friends that I’ve never seen…(a gasp will follow, please breathe now…) “A Christmas Story.” I know the little kid with the big 80s glasses who wants a BB gun, and I know there’s a line in there about “you’ll shoot your eye out, kid.” Other than that — call me clueless. I always cry my eyes out during “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I’ve laughed at “Elf” and a few others.
I decided to run a poll about it: What is your favorite Christmas movie? If I’m going to brave the lines at the video store, what should I get?
The poll is on the upper-right of my blog. Your comments are welcome.
I look forward to your votes.

I think hard to beat “Miracle,” “Wonderful Life,” and “White Christmas” — but if you’ve seen all those and want another classic, I recommend “The Bishop’s Wife,” with David Niven, as the bishop; Cary Grant, as an angel; and Loretta Young, as the title character. (The title probably confused/scandalized Roman Catholics when it came out in 1947 — but Niven is an Episcopal bishop, so he’s allowed to have a wife.)
There was a remake in 1996 with Denzel Washington (The Preacher’s Wife), but I never heard anything good about that one and never saw it.
