My wife is horribly addicted to the Hallmark Channel Christmas Movies that run from Nov till the end of the year. I tolerate her excess because it makes her happy, puts her in a "giving" mood & is completely harmless. I watched 3 of them with her back to back till I figured them all out.
Essentially they all the same movie with slightly different variations on locations, actors, motivations but they all end with the same pushing of strong Christian brainwashing techniques, that without "Christmas" your life is hollow, joyless & will end in darkness, sorrow & complete Satanic annihilation.
Happy Holidays to everyone & not just christians.

While I'm not as jaundiced about them as you seem to be

Definitely agree about the former, but I'm not as convinced about the latter (though some of the stories about him are pretty bad). Hitch certainly was a weird guy, at any rate. Originally Posted by Gray Lensman

The best thing I can attribute to The Satanic Hallmark Channel Christmas Movies, is that when they're on TV I feel the overwhelming urge to study my guitar amplifier repair workbooks. Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective

Hallmark Christmas time is great. It's the only time of year my Mom will watch anything but Hip-Hop Housewife reality TV. Anything but that crap is better for her.

I can't disagree with that. Reality TV is the newly-discovered Circle 10 of Dante's Hell, IMO. Originally Posted by JCAll

Christmas movies broadcast anytime from Dec 26 through Thanksgiving Day, inclusive, should result in a license being yanked. If there's a war on Christmas, it's only because Christmas first advanced on Thanksgiving and Halloween. #XMASFIREDFIRST

He was a bit of an ass, yeah, but as we're seeing everyday Hollywood is hiding far, far worse than him. Originally Posted by Gray Lensman

Not sure if I ever put these opinions here, but:
Vaccination should be forced by law. (I think for practical reasons it can't be done, but morally I think it should be done)
No-one should have any right to refuse organ donation. Whatever reason you might have to want your organs used after your death is not as important as someone else's need to live. (As above, probably not practical, but morally right)
All adults should be allowed to vote. Even ones currently in prison, regardless of the crime. This is too important in a democracy, that nothing should be able to take it away.

In my house it's A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. We'll occasionally watch something else if it is available, like last year I finally got around to seeing Scrooged, and I want to get my wife (and her bad memories of Xmas retail work) to watch Jingle All The Way.

I want to say this came up in the TV/Movie boards but Die Hard is sort of a X-Mas movie...

Not "sort of", Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, and one of the best! Originally Posted by ed2962
