my safety light's on again. magic!

as an avid movie lover, i do love the yearly holiday movie rotation (and yes, occasionally still get pulled in to the god awful lifetime holiday movie marathon). to me, part of the joy of the season is seeing some great christmas films show up on the guide and nary is one passed up for recording. even the infamous 'yule log'.

hence, i thought i'd pass along my list of favorite holiday flicks. feel free to chime in with yours or even ones that i horrifingly (in your opinion only) left off the list. and, oh yeah, please don't start with 'a christmas story' not being on this list...hate that damn movie.

10. White Christmas

9. Scrooged

8. L.A. Confidential (i know it's not strictly holiday, but the whole story revolves around that time of the year)

7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

6. The Polar Express

5. The Ref

4. Love Actually

3. Nightmare Before Christmas

2. Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original version)

1. Home for the Holidays
