With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?.........

My, and my families, favorite is "Holiday Inn".   It is the film that introduced so many songs and has Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.  The "made for money" remake of "White Christmas" was simply to capitalize on the popularity of the song to make more money....not a bad film, but "Holiday Inn" has the class that the remake does not.
  
What are some of your families favorite holiday movies?  My children loved the two original Home Alone films.  Fun, but not the musical history and "class" that Holiday Inn is. 

You may know of a motel chain that picked up on the name, "Holiday Inn".

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with Burl Ives, as the narrator and singer. Reminds me of my WONDERFUL mother,  she is in heaven now.
I carry her singing along with Mr Burl Ives for almost 25 years now..

Everytime I hear the song "Rudolph", I hear them singing together, I get a BIG smile... I'm one blessed man, no doubt.. I can still hear it in MY HEAD.

Yup Yup...Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night..
