Favorite Christmas Movies at the cabin

We have these movie traditions each year.  I am sure that most families do and probably they are not much different than ours.

We started years ago with Christmas Vacation.  The holiday season just hasn't officially started until we have seen this one.  And everytime we see it, we find something new. 
Our favorite lines?  
Clark, "WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell."
"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny ------- Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white --- down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of ------- this side of the nuthouse."


Playing next is Christmas with the Kranks.  This movie is geared more toward our age group and was made from the novel, Skipping Christmas by John Grisham.  It just seems to suit us and our love of cruising!  Cruise or Christmas?  hmmm.......

Of course, we enjoy Home Alone.  "Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?" is the question asked by Kevin when he has to shop.  And then there is this request for Santa, "This is extremely important. Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back. No toys, nothing but Peter, Kate, Buzz, Megan, Linnie and Jeff. And my aunt and my cousins. And in a few years time, my Uncle Frank. Okay?"  We should all be so appreciative of our families! 

Elf was introduced to us a couple of years ago and we think that it is a very cute Christmas fantasy!  My favorite line, "SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!"  Our favorite tune from Elf is 'Baby, it's cold outside!' 
 
Last year, we watched for the first time A Christmas Story.  Made in 1983, this movie was set in the 50s - our time!  "I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" is the only desire of Ralphie!  But the common response throughout the movie is, "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."  It reminded us so much of our childhood - such a simple time! 
 
Happy holiday movie watching!
