4. Miracle on 34th Street
Whether you enjoy the original 1947 version of this tale starring Natalie Wood as the little girl who doesn't believe in Santa, or the modernized version with Mara Wilson as the disbelieving little girl, both movies include the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And if you are skeptical of remakes, you should know that the newer version does stick close to the original story.
When the actor hired to play Santa in the annual Macy's parade is found to be drunk, a replacement is needed quick. The newly hired man seems perfect for the job and there is a good reason for that: he claims he is in fact the real Kris Kringle. His sanity is questioned and put on trial, even as those around him begin to notice that there is indeed something special about this store Santa.
The 1994 version also stars Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, and Richard Attenborough as Santa. Just click on the link and search for your favorite, old or new, both movies are enjoyable whether you believe in Santa or not.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has been adapted for film many times (maybe I'll look that up?) and has a version currently in theaters as I write this. I suppose we will see it when it comes to DVD, but for now I will happily watch The Muppet Christmas Carol from 1992. Yes, it is the Muppets, the Puppets from Jim Henson, later purchased by Disney. And it is a musical, like most Muppet movies. But it does hold true to the original tale, and the actors all do a fine job of bring the tale to life for the whole family.
Do you remember the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas? If you have only seen the Jim Carey movie version do yourself a favor and get a hold of the the original Grinch that is actually based on the Dr. Seuss classic book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of most loved Christmas TV specials of all time, first seen in 1965. One of a series of Peanuts TV specials, this wonderful animated short film is watched every Christmas by millions of families over the world.
In this Emmy nominated special, the Muppets join John Denver on a campling trip in the mountains of Colorado. Denver and 
The Waltons are a rural American family during the Depression, preparing to celebrate Christmas together. Though times are tough, this deeply moving tale of of love, hope and sharing first introduced America to "The Waltons" and inspired one of the longest running, and most popular family dramas on Television.

This remake of the heartwarming Christmas classic captures all the joy and wonder of the original version. A young girl, who has been raised not to believe in fairy tales and Santa Claus, meets a department store Santa Claus who claims that he is the real Kris Kringle. Her mother of course, insists that it can't be true, that Kris is just a nice old man. But soon things start happening that may make them both change their minds and make them believe in the magic of Christmas once again.
