Scrooged Die Hard Lethal Weapon Christmas Vacation A Christmas Story A Christmas Carol Bad Santa
Was going to list Lethal Weapon as well. Die Hard is on many Christmas list, but Lethal Weapon also took place during Christmas time. It even starts with Jungle Bell Rock and a shootout in a Christmas tree lot.

This. How we made it to page 2 before it came up strikes me as proof I live in my own world.

Christmas Vacation, which I watched a few nights ago.
White Christmas. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney. What else could you want?
Charlie Brown. The music. And the sweet story.
And Schweddy Balls. Not a movie, and I know it is Alec Baldwin, but . . .

Rare Exports is EXCELLENT. Same guys/actors as the more recent Sisu movie, if anyone is familiar.

Yes Die Hard gets all of the attention but Lethal Weapon is every bit as much of a Christmas movie.
Now I've got images of Beretta 92s dancing in my head.

One of the best SNL sketches ever, from the way they mock soft-speaking NPR hosts to the blatant innuendo
Teri Rialto: Mmm.. wow.. you have some beautiful Balls..
Margeret Jo McCullen: They’re bigger than I expected.
Pete Schweddy: A lot of people tell me that.
Margeret Jo McCullen: Look at that, Teri – the way they glisten.
Pete Schweddy: That’s because make sure that each one of my Balls gets plenty of oil.

I watched a new (to me) movie last night with my son called "A Boy Called Christmas". It was VERY good (imho). Will be on my list moving forward. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Has Maggie Smith in it, if you know who she is (from Harry Potter where she plays Professor McGonagle).

Tonight we watched Diehard 2, this one we hadn’t seen for a couple of years and it was fun for sure.

Thank you for this little gem. Hadn't seen it but sat down with the wife to watch on Amazon and we both enjoyed it.

My only “must” every year is White Christmas.
Does anyone else remember the early 1970’s made-for-TV movie, Silent Night, Lonely Night? Lloyd Bridges and Shirley Jones. It was originally a play, with Henry Fonda and Barbara BelGeddes starring on broadway in 1959. They showed it every year on TV for quite a while. I would love to see it again, but it does not appear to be available. It was very wistful. Not a typical cheery Christmas movie.
