Naughty or Nice? Christmas Movies!

The Enterprise Newspapers of South Snohomish and North King counties published this interesting list of Christmas movies last year. Something for the family, and something for after the kids are asleep.

1983's "A Christmas Story" is the big tradition in my house. Later, after the kids are in bed, I like to chuckle at "Christmas Vacation." These two movies have something in common -- characters that I can easily identify with: Ralphie Parker, who longs for the "perfect present" (a Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock), and Clark W. Griswold, who longs for the "perfect Christmas" (a fun and traditional holiday spent with his loving family).
