As the Truth sees it…

7. Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. It’s a classic that as stood the test of time. Made dolls in 1970, it’s something parents can watch with their children.
6. Home Alone. I wasn’t impressed with Macaulay Culkin or the story, but the physical comedy Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern showcased had me crying with laughter.
5. Bad Santa. Billy Bob Thorton was just pure mean, but it was xxx, who played his partner, who stole the show.
4. Scrooged. Billy Murray gives his take on Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol as a television executive who finds his soul with the help of three ghost. It had moments of corniness, but it was at its best when Murray was bad.
3. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Stars: Chevy Chase. Signature moment: Clark Griswald nearly burns down his house trying to kill a squirrel that had gotten loose in the house.
2. “Friday After Next”. Stars Ice-Cube and Mike Epps. Signature moment: When Ice-Cube and Epps get beat up by Santa Clause
1. A Christmas Story. A Red Rider BB Guns and sticking your tongue on a frozen light pole are just a couple of the memorable moments in this 1983 classic. It’s sown on television even more than “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but it has not gotten old and stale.
