I celebrate Christmas, so this is what you get. :)
Elf
Confession: I didn't actually watch this; I fast-forwarded with the volume muted. In my defense, I have a lot of movies to get through before Christmas arrives. The stocking cap worn by Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) is pretty spiffy, so it was worth my time. Weird to see her as a blonde, though:
Scrooge/A Christmas Carol
There are so many movie versions of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol; my all-time favorite is Scrooge (1970) starring 35-year-old Albert Finney. The man is amazing.

A Christmas Story
I don't know what I'll do if TBS discontinues their 24-hour Christmas Day marathon of A Christmas Story. Before you ask: no, I wasn't able to find a full bunny suit pattern. But I did find this hat, worn by bully Schwartz (R.D. Robb): |

The Preacher's Wife
I enjoy this 1996 movie, a Whitney Houston-powered remake of 1947's The Bishop's Wife. |
| Either way, the view is nice. |

It's a Wonderful Life
It's not Christmas until I watch this every year.
In the Battle of Mary v. Violet, Mary is the clear winner. But Vi brings it in the cardigan category. I want one in every color.

It's hard to see in this photo, but George's scarf is a very subtle herringbone pattern.
Reversible Herringbone Scarf [Rav link] by Bruce Weinstein; $5.00
Standard garter stitch scarf. I just love the looks on his face in this scene.
Mary's airy scarf is the perfect way to keep snow off your hair while saving your family.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Halloween movie? Christmas movie? This is a serious question, as I've never seen it. (and now my brothers and 75% of my friends are exclaiming with shock and disbelief.) OK, fine. Wait a sec.
...alright, I'm back and have watched the movie in its entirety! Stuff!
