Tallima: I think it's is great that families around the globe enjoy movies together as a Christmas tradition. We enjoy ours with my wife's special hot chocolate. A ball of Lindt chocolate on the bottom takes it right over the top.
Santa thinks good movies should always go with good food.
Check your stocking.

drxenija: Thanks for the giveaway and I would love to join this virtual christmas festive event!

My favourite movie has been Home Alone. It is one of the best holiday movies that I still remember when I had Christmas as a young child. I remember seeing it multiple times in school and at home but I still have yet to yawn at it!

It's one of those classics I deeply treasure in my heart.
I heard the little cute boy actor has grown up completely now. But he will always be that little boy from Home Alone for me haha
Santa thinks that when home alone, you should at least have something to play with. Check your stocking.

paladin181: Also, Die Hard and Home Alone are very similar. One is just a far grittier more adult version of improvising traps for intruders while staying stealthy.
Kudos for finding similarities between Die Hard and Home Alone. Santa left you a gift for that.

If you want another adult version of Home Alone, you should watch The Babysitter (be careful, trailer contains a major spoiler) on Netflix. I had a very good time watching it, especially because the movie doesn't take itself too serious. It's not a Christmas movie though.

Thanks for your incredible generosity. This has been a truly great Christmas for my family. We were very blessed, and hopefully we made others' lives better as much as they have ours!!

How do people get chosen here, or is it totally random?

Thank you for the kind and generous gift!

We had really good food yesterday. No hot chocolate. But we did have Cajun fried turkey. Yum!

misteryo: My favorite is the 1985 A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott as Ebeneezer Scrooge.

I love the story, and I am happy to watch many many versions of it. But this one remains my favorite. I love Scott in general, and his performance here is great. The movie on the whole is wonderful. But the standout for me is the Ghost of Christmas Present. In this production he is so severe, so contrary, so unflinching, so direct in his factual condemnation of Scrooge's life and choices. And the judgement is according to Scrooge's own standards: his pity for Tiny Tim, his own desire for people to like and admire him. I think Dickens shines through most solidly in this production, and I love it.
There are so many adaptions of A Christmas Carol. Thank you for recommending one that I haven't seen yet. Check your stocking for a gift.

Looks really yummie. Can't cook anything like that. I neither have a fryer nor a pot that would be big enough to deep-fry a whole turkey.

I just remembered that the first episode of Batman the Animated Series is a Christmas episode. A very lighthearted episode for a serious/dark animated series. It made me forget the correct lyrics of jingle bells. lol

Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The Batmobile lost a wheel
And the Joker got away, hey

How delightful! Thank you so much! I'm off to watch Soul today!

Yes, I still listen to radio shows from smartphones. I use TuneIn Radio app.
And sometimes I listen to classic Christmas Radio Shows such as this one.
https://tunein.com/podcasts/Christmas-Music/Christmas-Old-Time-Radio-p476480/

My favorite Christmas movie is The Polar Express.

And since we have to spend a lot of time alone on our couch, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

And I'm in for the GA since I've been good this year :P

Just watched Soul.

Not actually a Christmas movie. I was kinda expecting it to be, since it released on Disney+ on Christmas Day. Not inappropriate to the season, and kinda has a It's A Wonderful Life vibe (middle aged man re-evaluating the worth of his life with an afterlife perspective thing going on), but no Christmas angle at all.

So, off the Christmas movie list.

However, I do recommend it, especially for viewers of a certain age. (For those of you not of that age, the expression means middle-aged.)

Cheers!
