'Tis the season to stare at screens.

Here's a look at the five top-earning Christmas films:

4. "The Santa Clause"

The pair of films grossed a combined $284 million in the U.S.

3. "Elf": Buddy banked more than $173 million.

2. "The Polar Express" rolled in $10 million more than "Elf."

1. "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" had a Who-bilation when it earned $260 million.

*If the plot of "Home Alone" focused on Christmas instead of crime fighting, it would win.
