Christmas Movie Madness: 'Elf' leaves 'Frosty' out in the cold

This week marks the beginning of the semi-finals round in the Christmas Movie Madness bracket.

Here's what happened the last round of voting.

Frosty and other holiday favorites melted under the pressure of competition.

"Elf" dominated the jolly "Frosty the Snowman" winning 106 to 51, the largest margin of last week's votes. When asked for a comment about his win, Buddy the Elf got so excited at the words "Christmas" and "win" he screamed and ran away from the phone, which was followed by a large crash.

The tightest race was between "A Christmas Story" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" but Charlie Brown had the football taken away in the final seconds when "A Christmas Story" edged out a tight win 80 to 77.

It was a red-versus-green fight between "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966) and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Rudolph put up a tough fight, but the Grinch stole the victory 86 to 70.

Kevin McCallister might be able to take on would-be robbers, but he was no match for the positive spirit of George Bailey. "It's a Wonderful Life" beat out "Home Alone" this week 88 to 72.

There will be tough decisions to make this week when "It's a Wonderful Life" takes on "A Christmas Story". "Elf" will face off against "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Voting is today through Tuesday morning. You can vote at inland360.com by clicking on the Christmas Movie Madness link at the top of the home page.
