These here are the other Christmas films, guaranteed to get one in the Christmas spirit, whilst not including (re)incarnated snowmen, flying reindeer, elves, Scrooge, members of the Claus family, animation (for the most part), Christmas specials or the birthday boy, Christ Jesus!*
For the truly adventerous or fatigued, try a silent Christmas film.
*with one or two exceptions - the Christmas Miracle clause

@Neena, I'm not sure, it's not ringing any bells for me. I'll post your query on the Facebook page for fans of Eric's Blog and see if anyone else can figure it out.
@Neena, one of the readers wrote to me "Sounds like The Man Who Came To Dinner, except he broke his leg, not hit his head. One of my holiday favorites - brilliant script, great cast, just fun all around. Hope that helps!" Is that it?
I've been trying to find the name of a movie I remember seeing movie years ago on TV, probably in the 60s or 70s as it was in colour about the magic of Christmas. I don't remember much except it was very poignant and I think there was this department store Santa. In the end I think he walks away leaving an empty santa sack that has something in it when the people who don't believe in him actually look.
You forgot the film "Child's Play"
Thank you FILM_NINJA, I didn't include Child's Play... it's been a long time since I saw that but from what I remember (and from what my research suggests), the lad in the picture received his "Good Guy" doll on his birthday, not Christmas. Am I wrong?
What is the name of a movie, probably from the 1930s or 40s about a big-wig who hits his head outside of a family's mansion and has to spend the holidays?
