Now for something less serious - Theater Thursday

Week 29 - Merry Christmas.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas.

1) Which holiday movie/special do you have to watch every single year?
There are a few:

Christmas Vacation
A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Christmas Story
While You Were Sleeping
Grumpy Old Men
A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott)
The Year Without a Santa Claus
How the Grinch Stole Christmas

2) Which holiday movie/special could you live without every year?
An American Christmas Carol (Henry Winkler, although I usually like him)
Home Alone
The Grinch (Jim Carrey)
The Little Drummer Boy

3) Do you have any special traditions that you do while watching the holiday films? (i.e - decorating the tree, drinking eggnog, opening gifts)
I tend to watch some while putting up the decorations. I also enjoy cross stitching while watching them.

BONUS) Is there any holiday classic that you would like to see remade? If so, what is it, and who would you like to see play the parts?
Can't think of any. The ones I like I like just the way they are, and some of the ones I don't like are remakes of which I'm not fond :)
