It almost takes a miracle to transform a modern piece of art into a Christmas standard. Between "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol," "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," there's not much room for new holiday classics. Yet somehow Will Ferrell's "Elf" has become this century's quintessential Christmas movie (apologies to "Love Actually" and "The Polar Express" fans).
