I watched a few early 80s Christmas specials with my nieces yesterday: the Chipmunks Christmas and The Christmas Racoons. They weren't quite what I remembered.
Chipmunks was something else. Basically a kid is dying so his sister wants to give him a golden harmonica to make him better, but the mother tells her they need all their money to get the kid through Christmas--okaaay--and the daughter's like 'the hell does that mean?' and the mother responds "shhhh!" Alvin overhears this exchange at a department store while he's pining over the same harmonica, and decides to raise the dough. Then Mrs. Claus buys him the harmonica, and while at a Christmas Eve performance at Carnegie Hall, Dave surprises Alvin by bringing the dying child along--but he's now cured. Boom: Christmas miracle.
Home Alone 1 & 2 for sure. Last year we watched 3-6 just for fun. 3 was actually passable, but then rest, woof. 1 & 2 are definitely holiday staples. Same with Elf. Love that movie.

I've never watched a Home Alone movie.
Going to this year for the first time since my daughter is of an age she'd appreciate it.

Jeez dude, there are spoiler tags for a reason. Come on!
Also I just started my Christmas watching last night with the Guardians of Galaxy Christmas. Loved them kidnapping Kevin Bacon.
