I was always a Jean Shepherd fan having grown up in Indiana in the 30's and 40's.

A Christmas Carol is always a favorite in my family...we love the message of the movie, the right message for the season...

None of these are the great Christmas movies that my family watches each year: White Christmas, Christmas in Connecticut, Holiday Inn, Its a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas. . . Of the movies listed I really like A Christmas Story, and I also like The Santa Clause, but I don't consider any of the others "Classics"
