| | Posted: | | | | I know that this is a little late for some of you, but I was getting my annual Christmas Eve movie off of the shelf and was curious what everyone else watched.
Christmas Eve: Miracle on 34th Street (the original)
Christmas: The Santa Clause | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | We don't watch anything in particular as a rule, but so far today we've watched Christmas in Connecticut and Remember the Night.
We may watch The Bishop's Wife later if the football game doesn't get better.

| | Posted: | | | | Like Scott, we don't watch anything specific as a rule. Tonight we watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which is my favorite Christmas special of all time.
Not sure what exactly we'll watch tomorrow, but given the snow it might be White Christmas, or I also want to watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians before the season is up...
A check of last year shows we didn't watch anything on Christmas Eve (must have worked late or something), and we watched The Holiday on Christmas Day, and I wouldn't mind watching that again. So who knows... | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | I still haven't decided what I want to watch today... I still haven't watched many in my collection. But I got so much new Christmas shows this year... there was no way to get to it all.
I am not sure if I want to go classic and watch It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th St. or if I want to go horror and watch Black Christmas and the Tales from the Crypt Christmas episode... or something else. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | No special christmas list here, just the usual brave fight against the ever-growing tower of unwatched DVDs.
But I happened to see 'A Very Supernatural Christmas' (Supernatural, 3.08) this week and liked it. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
