Fox News decided to make a list of the Top 10 Christmas movies and I immediately took issue with it. Firstly, the only true “movie” on the list is Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas.  The rest are the animated specials we see on broadcast telelvision.  Secondly, their pick for #1 is the animated Dr. Suess’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Now, I love Chuck Jones and what he did for Bugs Bunny and the gang, so I agree that the Grinch should be on the list, but it shouldn’t be #1.  The #1 chocie should be A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Leaving the biblical element aside, the special’s statement on the commercialization of Christmas is as relelvant today as it was then.  When Santa is sitting side by side with witches and skeletons in October in many department stores, I think a case for the over-commercialization of Christmas can be made.
