As we're all aware, the market is pretty saturated when it comes to Christmas specials and movies. So, if any, what are the specials and/or movies you you feel like you HAVE to watch around Christmas?
Frosty, Rudolph, The Grinch, Charlie Brown, Garfield, and Mickey's Christmas Carol are all specials that I feel like I have to see.
As far as movies are concerned, I always have to check out National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Gremlins, Die Hard, It's a Wonder Life, Jingle All the Way, and Nightmare Before Christmas.

A special that always puts me in the spirit.

I usually watch Hey Arnold Christmas Special and Rugrats The Santa Experience.

I know it sounds silly, but I catch the 24-hr Christmas Story marathon every year.

I feel good knowing that.
 I also enjoy the Garfield special. Other favorites of mine include the movie "A Flintstone Christmas" and the Flintstones special "Christmas Flintstone." "If you think a 401K is your mother-in-law's bra size, you might be a redneck."

I watch the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special, Gremlins, Mixed Nuts, and Edward Scissorhands every Christmas. They get me in the mood. Sometimes I will also try to catch Miracle on 34th Street (the original, though the newer one is good too.)

Edward Scissorhands is a true Christmas classic!

There's something I don't get:
Yogi's First Christmas premiered in 1980, right? Well, in 1979's Casper's First Christmas, Yogi was celebrating Christmas with his friends then. So, how can 1980 be the year of his fist Christmas? "If you think a 401K is your mother-in-law's bra size, you might be a redneck."
