Christmas Movies on Turner Classic Movies

Every December Turner Classic Movies shows a lot of Christmas movies. I know it is true of myself and many of my friends that watching holiday themed movies is a Yuletide tradition. Of course, as busy as most of us are, it is sometimes difficult to keep up with all the holiday movies that TCM shows during the month. Here then is a listing of the Christmas movies they are showing this December. I have to confess that I have included only movies in which the holiday plays a central role in the plot. I have excluded movies in which Christmas plays a role in only a smart part of the over all movie. It's for that reason that I don't list Meet Me in St. Louis (which I dearly love) or any version of Little Women (which, umm, I don't love...) on the list.

Anyway, without further ado, here is the list. All times are Central.
