Vote for Your Favorite Holiday Movie
From classics like "A Christmas Story" to newer favorites such as "Elf," which one wins your vote for best holiday movie?
Along with shopping for gifts, decorating the house, listening to Christmas music, baking and more, another holiday pastime is watching Christmas movies.
Whether you strictly watch "A Christmas Story" on repeat on Dec. 25, tune in to the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family or have your own private collection for your viewing pleasure, everyone probably has a favorite (or least favorite) Christmas movie.
Patch compiled a list of some popular Christmas flicks (though we couldn't list them all) and want to know which is your favorite. If you don't see your favorite, tell us about it in the comments.

A Christmas Carol, the George C. Scott version! It's the best.

Anita, did you see the new Disney version? It made the story a little bit more accessible for kids; but I do love the George C Scott one, too.
I love all these movies, but if I could pick only one, I'd probably go with A Christmas Story. I remember it was on in the background all of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when we'd gather at my dad's house with the extended family. It brings back such great memories for me.

I will check out the Disney version. Thanks! Of course, I love a Christmas story too. One of my friends has a leg lamp in her window every Christmas!

As far as Dickens' A Christmas Carol goes, I have to agree with Anita, the George C Scott version is the best, with the Alistar Sim version a very close second. I truely think that Dickens' story is the best secular Christmas story; as applicable today as is was 169 years ago. "This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it! Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes and make it worse! And bide the end!"
