If you tell me your age, I might be able to guess your favorite Christmas movies. Not because I'm particularly smart or anything. I mean, come on . . . I work in radio.
But a company called Christmas Lights Etc. did a survey on people's favorites, and they broke them down into age groups.
And it turns out the older folks are more into the classics, which isn't surprising. But younger adults seem to enjoy a mix of old and new. Although the newest movie anyone named was "Elf" from 2003. Here's the breakdown:
Ages 60-plus:
1. "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947)
