Did you pick Elf @The Blaze

It just missed my list, and Charlie Brown Christmas was on mine. But if Elf wins, I ain’t gonna be mad. It’s a pretty good movie and would have made my list if it was 11 movies

 

[Chris]

Yeah I love Elf but I can't vote against Charlie lol

Elf is my favorite Christmas movie so that.

I'm going with Peanuts here, because it actually has relevant history to my hometown of Sleepy Eye.

The real Linus, Linus Maurer, was actually born in Sleepy Eye and was a good friend of Charles M. Schulz (who is also Minnesotan). We even have a statue dedicated to Linus in town, which still means a lot to the city itself.

That's awesome Grim.

Never seen either but this song is such a banger. Not sure if the original is in the movie or not but it gets my vote just because.
