Holiday punch-out VOTE HERE
It's another year, and that's another cause for the pain: which Christmas movie is better, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer? Please log in and vote, for it may determine the very fate of the universe.
It's the Rumble in the Bumble, the Raid in Quaid, the Too Cool for Yule. Jen wants you to vote with her, but if you vote with her and not your head and your heart, then you may have killed Christmas, the time when we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Santa.
And since I'm sure of what I'm doing, I'm not eveing telling you who wants what. Except Jen wants to steal Christmas and Jewish Christmas and European Christmas and African-American Holiday Christmas.
UPDATED Jen and I have since come to an agreement of terms for the "loser:" The loser will watch the winning movie, then compose a song about how much they love the movie. The song will be set to the tune of a popular holiday song. And the loser will also be a loser. VOTING ENDS WEDNESDAY, 9 a.m.
So vote people, and get ready to read some great Jen McGitotaty song stylings!
And I'm fairly certain I swiped most/all the jokes in the preceeding. But Jen really does want to steal your Christmas.

You're on, J-Gro, you're on. The loser must watch the entirety of the winning movie by New Year's. Deal?
You're on. Get your popcorn popping.
OK, I think just for nostalgia's sake, I have to say Rudolph. Don't get me wrong, National Lampoon's is funny, but Rudolph gets me every time! I love that island of misfit toys and the elf who wants to be a dentist.
Rudolph freaks me out. But Chevy Chase freaks me out even more.
So...
I vote Rudolph.
I vote for Home Alone! To me, the year is still 1990 and Kevin McCallister really knows how to show those theives a thing or two. Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit quite like Home Alone.
PS. My mother thought that "Home Alone" was a horror movie when it first came out in theaters.
Um... best Christmas movie? That would be Die Hard, duh.
But since that's not a choice... Rudolph. It's a freaking Gene Autry song! Lyrics by an advertising exec! Burl f'ing Ives is the Snowman narrator! The animation!! It's pure America!
Not that Chevy Chase isn't America... but still, Rudolph.
Chevy Chase makes me feel like laughing at anything he does will instantaneously kill me. Sit down and watch Paul Simon's video for "You Can Call Me Al" and tell me you don't want to bury Chevy in a deep dark hole where no one will find him. I just hope he's somewhere paying taxes; that's all I want out of him.
So Rudolph. Yukon Cornelius is the man. Abominable produces a high pitched "OH NO!" out of Kate every time we watch it. And "Who ever wanted a Charlie-In-The-Box?" is a frequently used quote in our home.
My personal favorite Xmas movie? Yeah, Die Hard or It's a Wonderful Life, depends on how much I feel like killing people.
Yippee Ki Yay, George Bailey.
Well, which Rudolph are we talking here? The stop-motion animation one with the Island of Misfit Toys? If so, then that's the one. If it's one of the lame-o other versions, replete with a notable absence of the Winter Wizard or Heatmizer, then they are fountains of suckitude and are to be avoided.
And *I* would want a Charlie-in-the-Box. Poor little guy...
Rudolph, without question. I'm amazed this is even an issue. How can "tit bit nipply" compare with real Christmas spirit?
dude, someone stole my Die Hard joke. So i guess second best would have to be Bad Santa.
And for the purposes of our little competition, I am all about Clark W Griswald. The animation for rudolph kind of makes my skin crawl -
-j: disappointing joey "i went to feelm school" gorha.
That's fine, keep it coming "Friends of Jen" and "Jen Pretending to be Other People." We have your IPs logged.
I like It's a Wonderful Life for favorite but since that is not a choice I have to go with Rudolph. I like Chevy Chase in Fletch and the original Lampoon but not as much a fan of the subsequent Lampoons. All in all Chevy can't compare to Rudolph!
Holiday musicals always win. Only a Grinch could dislike the cheer of "A Holly Jolly Christmas". Besides, the artist who rhymed "misfit" and "nitwit" deserves extra credit.
So Rudolph gets my vote in your poll, but I have to speak up for my hoiday favorite: Albert Finney's "Scrooge". His "I Hate People" number can be sung year-round with glee.
Christmas Vacation, hands down!! No contest! It's on that list of Things I Love, right with Zach Braff, Hillary Clinton, and Elizabethtown. Yes, Elizabethtown.
The answer is definitely Christmas Vacation. I don't even think I've sat through the entirety of Rudolph...and I just paid $10.50 to see The Family Stone. So...yeah.
Really now, is there truly need for discussion?
Chevy's whoz-it and the merry Christmas thingie, of course!
Yup, I've watched it every year if I've watched it once.
Prepare your Lampoon Limricks, fella!
p.s. Jen rocks.
And I vote Rudolph. See above post for the whyfor.
