I don't really watch it loads with the children at the moment, but A Muppets Christmas Carol for myself :)

Home Alone is brilliant. Will have to get Elf! It sounds a bit slapstick so I expect DS would love it.

Home alone, elf, the Santa Claus, the nativity, Santa Claus the movie, there's too many to mention!
Yes, I am a child in woman's body!

the box of delights holmessweetholmes, is that the same as the series that was on tv (many moons ago)?

I love polar express and muppets christmas carol, though I have to admit to being a sucker for christmas movies in general!

The Snowman. It IS Christmas for me. I always search the listings a week before to ensure its not missed.

The Snowman, Muppets Christmas Carol and I like Polar Express but my Dcs find the boy really creepy! Should I be watching Arthur Christmas then?

Polar Express, Miracle on 34th St and Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas.

We watch A Nightmare Before Christmas on Christmas Eve all snuggled together. It's lovely.

Definitely NOT Polar Express - I also found it creepy and my DC refuse to watch it again. Maybe ok for older DC.

Muppet Christmas Carol is lovely (but again has a scary bit - one of the ghosts).

Elf and Home Alone 1&2 are favourites too.

And Christmas With The Kranks , although it's not a kids movie.

Yes Moln, that's the one. It's magical - I love it! The special effects are... of their time, shall we say, but it's a lovely story.

Arthur christmas, elf, the snowman, polar express, the one with dudley moor in he plays an elf (cant think what its called)

Suited mostly to older children but Home Alone 1 and 2, Elf, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation are must-see movies each December.

We've not really watched any with the DCs yet! (5&3)

I loved home alone 1&2 though so I've bought them - can I ask for a reminder, which one is the one actually set at Xmas?

Also got nightmare before Xmas and the Christmas Toy (a little known Jim Henson one that I had on video as a child)

DD will be watching Arthur Christmas at a special 'movie night' at school.

So is Polar Express unsuitable for a nearly three year old? I have it for our Christmas eve hamper.
