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

Holiday Inn is indeed a fine film. As is Miracle on 34th Street. One with even more to teach today's audience is A Christmas Story, from whence comes the immortal, "You'll shoot somebody's eye out!" The uplifting moral of which is, no you won't you'll learn responsibility instead! 

But my favorite, which anyone who knows me is probably already thinking I'm gonna say Fat Man! But no. Serious question, serious answer. My favorite is none other than the best Christmas movie of the last 50 years, the instant classic, Elf.  

A good review on the film "Elf"

...to kind of keep with the "audio" intent of this site, the original music is available on CD and is also a family favorite.  Of course being an old rocker from my early days, there is "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms and "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree", by Brenda Lee.  And there are many great classical and Jazz Christmas/Holiday records/CDs/SACDs...etc. ...I once had a Canadian Brass holiday LP that was good.   Seems  I am putting myself "in the mood", which is a song of a different "tune".  (being from Iowa, we are quite proud of Glenn Miller).

Actually, I do suffer from holiday music withdraw after the season.
