I would argue that perhaps another contender for worst Nativity scene would be the one in which Tommy from Rugrats plays the role of Jesus. I wish I were joking.

I now have an opinion on the &quot;Best Christmas Movie&quot; (Holiday special?)... I just saw &quot;Shrek the Halls&quot; last night and I just laughed through the entired half hour special. <br /><br />- Fastthumbs

Worst Christmas song ever = Silent Night.<br /><br />I was about to explain/rant about why but figured it would be too long for a comment.

My recommendation for holiday fun: when someone has big wooden blocks on their mantle that spell SANTA, rearrange them to spell SATAN. Having Old Scratch&#39;s name spelled out in jolly letters amidst the garland and hollyberry candles is a really satisfying juxtaposition. Plus it makes them look weird to visitors until they discover it.

I&#39;ll echo the praise for &quot;O Holy Night&quot;. My Christmas playlist has three different renditions of, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Josh Groban. All three give me goosebumps.<br /><br />Worst song is &quot;The Christmas Shoes&quot;. Worst...Song....Ever! Christmas is a happy time not a time to hear about some kid begging for money so he can buy his dying mom some shoes.

I think my favorite traditional Christmas Carol would have to be &quot;O Holy Night&quot;.<br /><br />I&#39;ve always really enjoyed the Christmas movie &quot;The Preacher&#39;s Wife&quot; with Denzel Washington; it&#39;s a remake of the old Cary Grant movie &quot;The Bishops Wife&quot; and I like both of the them. But I adore Whitney Huston singing the gospel tunes in the new version.

If done well, &quot;O Holy Night&quot; is one of my favorite Christmas songs. On the other hand, if I don&#39;t hear &quot;The Christmas Shoes&quot; this year, it truly will be a Merry Christmas.

I don&#39;t have an opinion about the &quot;best&quot; Christmas movie, but the worst (and classic since its almost 50 years old) is &quot;Santa Claus Conquers the Marians&quot; which is worst then &quot;The Starwars Holiday Special&quot; (disowned by Lucus) and the horrid He-man special.<br /><br />- Fastthumbs

Worst Christmas song has to be The Carol of the Bells. It&#39;s so frenetic it sounds downright psychotic!<br />@Tess<br />I also really like Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel and have heard a very interesting version by a heavy metal Christian group. The results were really effective, almost epic.

Best Christmas Movie - Elf<br /><br />I&#39;ve always had a problem with the Rudolph song. It just bothers me that the reindeer were so immature as to make fun of him because he had a different colored nose. And then as soon as he helped them, everything was forgiven? And why didn&#39;t Santa put a stop to the teasing as soon as it began? I like to believe that reindeer are kinder than that and

Two of the BEST Christmas movies:<br />Emmet Otter&#39;s Jug-Band Christmas (from the Jim Henson crew, great music by Paul Williams)<br />&amp;<br />The Snowman (Book &amp; DVD; haunting music by Howard Blake; this one&#39;s hard to find)

Best Christmas Movie: Home Alone. Why? Because I&#39;m 26 years old.<br /><br />Worst Christmas Movie: Christmas Child (A Max Lucado Story) Starring Steven Curtis Chapman featured on Fa La La La Lifetime around this time of year.<br /><br />If you still need a reason why it&#39;s the worst, let me put it this way: It&#39;s what would happen if Gilmore Girls and The Buttercream Gang had too much

Favorite movie had got to be National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, it&#39;s a family fav of ours. It&#39;s so very American. Also really hate &quot;Rockin&quot;. I do really like the Relient K Christmas albums as well as the Happy Christmas series. Oldschool.

You know, Jason, every December I think to myself, &quot;OK, I won&#39;t trash Christmas publicly this year - I&#39;ll just keep my mouth shut and not rage against this insane assault on the senses that takes up more than six weeks of the year&quot; - and yet, here I am on the afternoon of the first day of December and I can&#39;t hold it in any longer (just remember, you broke open this can of

&quot;Must be Santa&quot; by Bob Dylan is either the absolute best Christmas song ever or the absolute worst. My feelings go back and forth every 5 minutes.

Jason, your wisdom shows by your selection of Away in a Manger to your worst list. I commented once in a sermon about the bad theology of the song and how it lessons the truth of the incarnation. Two weeks later on christmas eve, our church organist started playing the tune as an interlude to our candlelight service! Bad theology doesn&#39;t go away easily!! And yes, I don&#39;t think she
