I find it very difficult to get excited as Christmas have become inordinately commercialized over my lifetime. What used to be a nice holiday is now a "retail season." Plus, I work up until the 22 or 23 and it's very hectic and busy.
But to answer the question, the three that I enjoy if I happen to see them while flipping through the channels are:
1. Grinch of Stole Christmas (original only)
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Charlie Brown Christmas
I'll pull out the Vince Guaraldi Trio Christmas CD and put it in the car the week before Christmas if I'm going to be on the road for more than an hour and listen to it for a few minutes if I have time, too.

The Bishops' Wife, White Christmas, The Grinch that Stole Christmas and Charlie Browns' Christmas. I also watch "It's a Wonderful Life".

Good pull on the VG trio CD...I need to replace my copy!
Only thing I've not seen mentioned yet is the George C. Scott portrayal of Scrooge, which I'm partial towards. Although, after a few "proper" egg nogs I see Scrooge but hear Patton....
"Marley, you MAGNIFICENT bastard....I read your book!!!!!"

Maybe not Christmas per se
i like the character Baby New Year...his big head and all
a renewal and hope for us all
who doesnt tear up at the words of Frosty the Snowman, to wit:
"there must have been some magic, in that old silk hat they found for when they placed it on his head , he began to dance around."
and it ends:
For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Come back Frosty, do come back!

Coming from a man that thinks a guppy is warm and fuzzy.  
This Christmas thread reminded me of a story that my Mom would read to me when I was a little girl. I can remember at the time the book was very old. Maybe she had it when she was a little girl. The story was about a little girl who was very frail and sick. I think maybe she died on Christmas day. Does that story happen to ring a bell with any of you? I know that isn't much information but that's all I am able to remember.

What a nice story. But that isn't the story I had in mind. Thanks though.

Wellll...since you asked!
A Christmas Story is absoeffinlutely the funniest, and The Santa Clause (the first one, NOT the sequels!) is touching without getting too sappy, but from my early childhood it has got to be the animated, original Grinch, 'cuz it has the bestest song ever - "You're a sly one, Mr. Grinch......"
IMHO, of course LOL
