i've not seen miracle either!
My two favourites are White Christmas and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
Followed by It's a Wonderful Life, and the original Miracle on 34th street.

I recently saw 'Santa Clause Conquers the Martians'. Like 'Plan 9...', it is so bad it's really good!
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is a contender (although I prefer the first movie).
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (with Jim Carrey) - if nothing else, for the quotes in that movie. Makes me laugh every time I see it.
The Grinch: "The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing... I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?"

Scrooged with Bill Murray might be above, if not tied, with my choice. Forgot about it. Good call!It is a tie between Scrooged with Bill Murray, or a Christmas story. ( I have also gotten my girls hooked on Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase..)
It is such an excellent movie that I should buy a copy. Christmas just wouldn't be the same without it!
