Okay, it's time for another random contest. Today, you're playing for a chance to win $10 in Strandbucks (usable at Siren-BookStrand).

And if you didn't check back on the last contest to see if you won, make sure you do. I posted the winners and so far only one has contacted me. LOL

What is your favorite holiday movie/TV show, and why?

I personally have a three-way tie. (Okay, quit thinking dirty. I know some of you just snickered.) For TV it's the Charlie Brown Christmas. The story, Vince Guaraldi's music, all of it. For movies, A Christmas Story and American Lampoon's Christmas Vacation tie for first. Did you know...there is a "sequel" to A Christmas Story out now? Also, did you know that a young Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) is Russ in Christmas Vacation? And now Old Navy has a couple of Christmas Vacation spoof commercials reuniting some of the original cast.

I can pretty much recite both these movies by heart, and have all three on DVD. They receive a lot of viewing throughout the year in our household and not just at Christmas time. The two movies make me laugh out loud, something I sometimes need more of in my life. I also collect the Hallmark ornaments for both movies.

So what is your favorite(s)? Tell me why. I'll pick a random winner via random.org from all the commenters to receive $10 in Strandbucks. :) (Hey, it's a better gift than a football, or a boxed cat! LOL)
