wtf. This mouse has a button that AGAIN erased everything I typed up. *grumble* Let's start this over again.
It's a Wonderful Life, hands down. The problem is I'm not sure I can watch it every year, because it's one of the few movies that makes me bawl everytime. In a good way, but still. For bizarre and fun with good laughs, A Pee-Wee Christmas and A Colbert Christmas. Literature-wise, a special and original short story that Net Raptor links to every year that I forget the name of. I'll have to update with the name and link laterspecifically when I'm not typing from the library and the Internet works at home again grrrrr. As for Rankin & Bass claymation specials, Santa Claus is Coming to Town will always be my favorite. *-* Four words: Santa Claus = Robin Hood. A rebel who breaks the law by bringing children happiness and freedom from the tyranny of a sour dictator, with the help of a pet penguin, an ex-evil warlock and his adoptive elf family? FUCK YEAH. Not to mention Jessica/Mrs. Claus was all kinds of badass and I adore her. Plus Fred Astaire narrates. Fuck yeah.
When it comes to least favorites, I basically dislike any program that feels the need to jam the Meaning of Christmas down your throat 24/7 and what an eeeeeeeeeeevil Scrooge you are for not getting into thecommercialized holiday spirit. Or you know, the stupid comedies and their sequels. :P The Grinch with Jim Carrey put a bad taste in my mouth. It was like Carrie in Christmastime but without the bloody and massive slaughter of Whos. :( I want to say I dislike Rudolph but I enjoy some bits and pieces of it like with the Island of Misfit Toys, but goddamn, I thought Santa and the reindeer that mocked Rudolph were more villaneous than poor Bumble ever was. :P Seriously, Santa was a dick in this special ("HAY DONNER YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF LOL"). I couldn't stand that Burle Ives Snowman, even as a kid! XD
I never saw A Christmas Story though I'd like to someday. Maybe I can ask my parents about it later. One day I mean to finish A Christmas Carol too, but I'm picky and will only read the edition that has the Quentin Blake illustrations in it. That has the most heart and sentimental value for me. *nod*
I read a funny children's Hannukah book called The Latke That Wouldn't Stop Screaming by Lemony Snicket. I recommend it to everyone! ;D
Anyone else think of Clarice from Rudolph and be reminded of Silence of the Lambs? :o
