9. A Christmas Story (unless you were born after 1969.) Behind the tree.
8. Miracle on 34th Street… the original, of course. “Stop the car!”
7. The Magnificent Ambersons (Christmassy, but dark.) When she’s acting like she doesn’t care.
6. Tie: Charlie Brown Christmas/March of the Wooden Soldiers (the classic with Laurel and Hardy)
5. Pocketful of Miracles I don’t want to give it away, but trust me.
4. Dr. Suess’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original cartoon, of course.) “It came just the same!”
3. The Homecoming: A Christmas Story 2 words: “Big Chief.”
2. It’s a Wonderful Life The ear boxing.
