I’ll never watch “A Christmas Story”. That thing is so full of cruelty. Ralphie’s aunt thinking him as a little boy by providing that “bunny suit” and the scene where Ralphie is stomped on and slides down the slide are just two examples of this.
IF I watch a ‘traditional’ Christmas movie it is: ‘A Christmas Carol with Alaister Sim. I think it is the best version although a couple of the newer ones that keep strictly with the story but have CG effects for the ’ghosts’ are not bad.
A nod to Jean Shepherd, vet of the WWII SigCorps and a guy I’d religiously listen to whenever near a radio that could pick up his show while I was stationed in NJ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Shepherd#Radio_career
I’ve watched Miracle on 34th Street every year since ‘73…and this year I actually half-way watched the 90’s version…cute…but not as good as the original!!

My favourite movie for this time was NOT shown this year. The Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim.
