I look forward to viewing certain movies aired on TV at this time of year. I did a search on zap2it.com and hardly any are being shown this year. I am disappointed. I may have to get a DVD and disks!

These are a few:
Scrooge (1970)
A Christmas Carol (1984)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
 

"It Happened on Fifth Avenue" is one of my favorites. While not technically a Christmas movie, it ends at Christmastime...as does "It's a Wonderful Life."
 
Guess I'm gonna be the "odd man out" here because I really don't like Christmas movies. Not really sure why but I find that most don't cut it for me. Some have a story with a tree in the back ground but I don't find the quality in Christmas movies. Sure I saw the one with Scrooge & those 3 ghosts visiting him. It is probably my favourite but why watch it again with over a million movies out there & at my age I can't be sitting & watching the same old darn movie. I heard that some people watch that old "Miracle on 34 Street" year after year after year. Good for them. I'll skip it to watch very non-Christmas Gunsmoke, Rifleman & Kojak. I don't need the Marshal, Chester, Doc nor Kitty sitting around some decorated tree. Nor do I need Kojak solving who murdered the guy who sells Christmas trees. That's just me; call it FREEDOM!

I'm with you, Packerjohn. I don't like Christmas movies, either, and have a particular dislike for Christmas romantic comedies. YUCK!!
 
Does anyone remember Amahl and the Night Visitors? It was a favorite of mine which I think first aired in the early 50s. Although I'm not a fan of opera this one I really enjoyed.
There is quite a history behind the making of this and was the first Hallmark show produced.
 
I taped multiple Christmas movies and make my husband watch one with me every night. They really put us in the holiday spirit.
I really like the Debbie Macomber movies like the "Mrs. Miracle" series.
November Christmas{2010}~A brave young girl is battling cancer, which has an effect on the people around her.
The Man Who Invented Christmas {2017}~Charles Dickens biography of the creation of the Christmas Carol.
Eloise at Christmastime~ Fun and delightful story that you can watch with grandkids.
