Christmas Vacation by a nose, over Scrooged. I get A Christmas Story, but I was grown by the time I saw it the first time.

These are my top two but nothing will capture the feel of Christmas like a Christmas story. Just a perfect movke. I got to actually visit the old building where they filmed the exterior school yard scenes and the flagpole scene in Canada and was pretty cool.

Born '83, never watched Christmas story till '03, started watching vacation by '93 (and it became the family tradition). My vote is clearly vacation.

Of these two it's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story isn't even #2.

I like Vacation more now, but watch both and Scrooged every year.
I wasn't a huge fan of Jingle, but did like Santa Clause

The Santa Clause and it ain't close. Tim Allen looked great as Santa

I grew up with A Christmas Story and it was on every year and we loved it. Then Christmas Vacation came out and rocked it as well. Cousin Eddie FTW.

I would have to choose A Christmas Story because of the memories it brings and for the ultimate "csb", I had Peter Billingsley (Ralphie) over to my dad's house for dinner while we were shooting a few episodes of Trigger Happy TV in NOLA. It really came full circle

I know, CSB.

I remember going to see Jingle All the Way just to see the Star Wars re-release trailer to get a peek at what Lucas had changed.
