What Your Favorite Christmas Special Says About You

,

Not unlike the alignment of the stars on the day you were born and where you went to kindergarten, your favorite Christmas cartoon special can say a lot about you. Santa or Grinch, Cindy Lou Who or Lucy--who you like defines your personality in some ways. Forget about Carl Jung and his personality test. What you'll learn from us is far more valuable. Happy holidays!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

Frosty the Snowman (1969)

Famous Royal Weddings

In honor of Prince William's upcoming event, we look at the best regal nuptials ever.

Prince William and Kate Middleton created a media frenzy with their recent engagement announcement. The couple's upcoming nuptials are the latest in a long line of notable royal weddings.

Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer

The future Princess Di wore a dress with a 25-foot train (here's how it was made) for her 1981 wedding at this famous church.

Crown Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby

Although their engagement caused a bit of a scandal, the Norwegian couple went on to marry in a lavish ceremony (here's a look) in 2001.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson

The couple married at an iconic London church and shared a public kiss on the balcony of a famous royal residence

Princess Anne and Mark Phillips

The Army lieutenant reportedly refused a title when he married the queen of England's daughter in 1973 (he wore his uniform). They divorced nearly 20 years later.

Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip

Millions listened to the future queen of England and the Greek-Danish prince's Westminster Abbey ceremony in 1947.

Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling

Their wedding took place at a famous Swedish church, and a concert was held in the couple's honor at a Stockholm landmark.

Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly

Kelly was a Hollywood superstar when she gave it all up to marry the prince of Monaco in a lavish wedding.

Princess Caroline and Philippe Junot

The princess and her much-older groom married in 1978 (what they wore) despite the royal family's concerns over his reputation.

Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako

The Japanese prince and the former diplomat married at a Shinto hall in Tokyo and have struggled with fertility issues ever since.

Prince Albert and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon

The bride began a Westminster Abbey tradition at their 1923 wedding, and the couple held their post-wedding breakfast at this palace.

Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong-Jones

Their 1960 ceremony was the first royal wedding ever televised (see it) and the groom (a well-known photographer) was given this royal title.

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles

The longtime couple finally wed at this historic building and held their reception at a nearby royal castle in 2005.

Princess Anne and Tim Laurence

The princess and her second husband, a Navy commander, were married in Scotland because of Church of England rules in place at the time.

Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones

The youngest son of the queen and the public relations agent were married in a (relatively) low-key ceremony at a historic British chapel.

Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly

The queen's oldest grandchild and his Canadian bride tied the knot (here's a look) at St. George's Chapel in 2008.
