Lisa, you have my fave on the list! No one – I repeat, NO ONE – I talk to has ever heard of Christmas in Connecticut! I watch it every year.
My two favorite animated ones are on the list, too: the Grinch (the original) and Charlie Brown. My hubby’s fave is Rudolph. 🙂

It’s such a classic!

I was going to say “Christmas in Connecticut,” too! Also “While You Were Sleeping,” and “The Family Stone,” and “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “An Affair to Remember,” and my husband’s favourite which we traditionally watch together after the kids are asleep— “Die Hard.”

We watch Die Hard each year as well.
