And the guy who was the voice for Tony the Tiger sang the Grinch song.

Ditto,

That one is a great movie. It was more real and or true to life than any others. It captured the true essence of adolescent Americana during Christmas time.

It a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Story

For me these two fun movies seem to capture the essence of what the holiday is about, without getting overly preachy or silly.
