I only got a couple of them. A shame! 😀
I got all of them except the first one. Love the homes in all these movies!
What a clever idea! I love this and I loved remembering these movies. I watched Home Alone this weekend and I just love the traditional look of this home. Thanks for the Monday quiz!
Didn’t get them all but it was great fun trying! Love the movie house thing you do, and this was a great way to revisit some of them.
I watch too many Christmas movies! I got them all! lol I own a few of these as well and I am a BIG fan of TCM!! Great choices!!
I’m impressed, Sil! I thought I was making it a bit of a challenge. Ha. Sounds like you watch them as much as I do! 🙂
I have loved so many of these movies..never saw Christmas in Connecticut..
Must look it up..nor did I see the remake of Miracle on 34th St..Fun post!
I knew them all!! I watched Family Stone on a flight home one time. I was sobbing so hard at the end that people were looking at me on the plane. It had to have been the worse movie to show on a plane. It started with just tears and a super runny nose then I was a wreck!
Oh, man, I can imagine. It was hard enough not to go into the “ugly cry” when I saw it in a theater full of people. At least it was dark in there! Ha.
LOL @ ugly cry, Julia. Is there any other kind? My girls hate it when I cry over movies, and that’s only at home! At the theater? Total mortification! 😉 Great post! There are a couple of older movies I haven’t yet seen and I plan to look up over the holidays. I figured out all those I had seen.
What a fun post and clever hints! I got all but “Christmas Vacation”! I had to tell you that the way I found your wonderful blog some three (?) years ago was by “Googling” Funny Farm”! I wanted to know where that had been filmed. I remember reading “according to Hooked on Houses….”. I thought “Hooked on Houses”?!?! What on Earth is that? So…. I clicked on the link and TWO hours later I realized I was DEFINITLY hooked Julia and her hooked on houses!!!!
Just love you both!!!
I love that! “Funny Farm” is one of my favorites. And I’m so happy you found your way here, Lisa! xo
Love all of these. Also Step Mom has wonderful Christmas scenes in that great old house!
That’s another good one. I love the Stepmom house!
Oh, how fun is this, Julia!!! Love this post… I should get some of these movies and watch with the kids.
Lots of love to you!

The Family Stone is my favorite. I think I look for your post every year during Christmas. 🙂
I need to watch that one again. It’s been a couple of years. I love that house!
#1,2,3,5,6,10 got ’em. This was a great reminder that I wanted to watch Holiday Inn! You’d posted something about this “house” last year about this time (I believe something controversial in the movie also?), but intentions and all that, I missed it. This is the year! Thanks for the reminder Julia 🙂 I love Christmas houses!!
Long time lurker, first time poster. Holiday Inn was my favorite Christmas movie, watched it every year on TV. “I’m Linda Mason”. I remember when I found it on VHS! (I’m of an age, as they say). That’s when I first saw the dreaded Lincoln’s birthday scenes…I was crushed. All the years I had watched it on TV, Lincoln’s birthday had been edited out. Hasn’t been the same for me since, I don’t watch it anymore. Great house though.
I know what you mean, Rebecca. I think a lot of people are shocked to see those scenes for the first time if they only watched the edited version on TV. I know I was!
i love your movie holiday house features! thank you!
have you ever featured the house in the fred macmurray/barbara stanwick film, “remember the night”? the home that fred macmurray’s character grew up in is not a huge part of the movie, but it’s a great house.
I haven’t, but I’ve seen that movie and remember that house! Thanks, Nanne. 🙂
I got 7 of 10…and I’m currently watching (my favorite!) White Christmas as I guessed the others. Ah, Bing Crosby. What a classic!
