On the first day of sock yarn, Simply Sock Yarn gave to me...
three skeins of Hedgehog DK in Teacup!
To have a chance at these three squishy skeins from our lovable Irish dyers, just answer the following question in the comments below:
What are you favorite three Christmas movies? And if you don't have any, just tell us something else that you like to watch each year.
Mine are currently White Christmas, Christmas Vacation and Elf. In that order. White Christmas is by far my fave, and I keep meaning to watch Holiday Inn because one of you told me that if I liked White Christmas then I would likely adore Holiday Inn as well. I just love the songs and the costumes and the dancing. I do like Love, Actually as well. But it's not an every-year type movie like the others.
Want to know more about the 12 Days of Sock Yarn tradition? See here.
My favorites are Polar Express, Elf and White Christmas.

I only have one Christmas movie that I always watch, but it's a doozy. We turn on "A Christmas Story" when it starts on Christmas Eve and watch it whenever we are awake right through Christmas Day.
Posted by: Barb | December 13, 2016 at 02:09 PM
White Christmas, A Christmas Story and though not a specific movie - I love sinking into the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. One feel good movie after another. I'm a sucker for a feel good movie!

While You were Sleeping is my favorite (not strictly a Christmas movie, but I always feel like it is.), then The Santa Clause and Home Alone
Posted by: Lara | December 13, 2016 at 04:45 PM
Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and I love the Grinch ( the old cartoon version). Home Alone is great too, especially since we took a trip to NYC at Christmas a few years ago with our kids (all late teens).
Posted by: Theresa M | December 13, 2016 at 04:47 PM
White Christmas, Elf and A Christmas Carol (the original with Alistair Sim)

Elf is my number one favorite Christmas movie. I watched it a couple days ago and cracked up just as much this time as every time. I also love Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Story. I also love Scrooged. Watched that the other day and enjoyed it as usual.
Posted by: Savannagal | December 13, 2016 at 05:06 PM
White Christmas, Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story are my favorites. We watch all three during the holidays.

White Christmas, Polar Express and It's a Wonderful Life
Posted by: Jude smith | December 13, 2016 at 06:37 PM
Number 1 is The Santa Clause with Tim allen. My brother and I watch it every year and hands down it is my favorite holiday movie. Number 2 would be Love Actually, because the cast is just so stunning and hilarious. Number 3 is a tie between White Christmas and The Nightmare Before Christmas which seems really odd but I love me a good soundtrack and those both have excellent ones!
Posted by: Kaisa | December 13, 2016 at 06:47 PM
I love A Christmas Story, It's A Wonderful Life and While You Were Sleeping.
Posted by: Marilyn Hutchens | December 13, 2016 at 06:48 PM

Posted by: Melissa Karpinski | December 13, 2016 at 07:12 PM
My favorite holiday movies are Elf, The Grinch, and Christmas Vacation. I don't watch every one every year, though. I try to read Little Women every Christmas break because so much of it revolves around the holidays.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some yummy-looking yarn!
Posted by: Kathleen McCunn | December 13, 2016 at 07:15 PM
White Christmas, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, and The Santa Clause, although Mickey's Christmas Carol is also a contender!
Posted by: Laura | December 13, 2016 at 07:31 PM
My top 3 are: Christmas Vacation, Christmas with the Kranks & the Christmas Card (a Hallmark movie). I look forward to watching them each year. Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Pamela | December 13, 2016 at 07:33 PM
White Christmas, The Man Who Came to Dinner and Holiday Inn, in that order. We also watch Charlie Brown Christmas, Garfield Christmas, Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town as our annual routine.

I love the old animated Christmas shows - Rudolph, Charlie Brown Christmas, and Little Drummer Boy. Oh, Frosty the Snowman needs to be there, too!
Posted by: Susan Eberhardt | December 13, 2016 at 08:31 PM
I had to have a good think about this one. I'm not really into the traditional "Christmas" movies. I think my favorites are: Home Alone, Mickey's Christmas Carol, and Scrooged. Although, to be honest, The Santa Clause is also up there, as is A Christmas Story (because duh, who doesn't need a fanceeee Eye-talian leg lamp?), and Gremlins.
Posted by: Renee Anne | December 13, 2016 at 08:33 PM
it's a Wonderful Life, Elf and Charlie Brown Christmas. I
love all three.
Posted by: Helen | December 13, 2016 at 08:37 PM
I was just talking about this with my mom the other day! My absolute favorite is It's a Wonderful Life, but the made-for-tv Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart and A Charlie Brown Christmas are the other two that have to be watched or it's not really Christmas.
Posted by: Caitlin Saraphis | December 13, 2016 at 08:40 PM
Nightmare before Christmas, Die Hard and Love Actually, for a full range of styles and emotions ;)

Posted by: Anne | December 13, 2016 at 09:20 PM
Christmas isn't Christmas without A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life and either the Muppet's Christmas Carol or the Patrick Stewart version.
Posted by: Rea | December 13, 2016 at 09:34 PM
Christmas Shoes-I cry every time. I also love the new version of Miracle on 34 Street and Prancer. I saw someone posted Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas - haven't thought about it in years! Thanks for the memory!
Posted by: Beth | December 13, 2016 at 09:35 PM
Holiday Inn - classic perfection Bing & Gene! The Santa Clause and Christmas with the Kranks - great fun!
