    Home Alone 2.

    Yes, for some weird ass reason I prefer the second one.

    White Christmas is the best Christmas movie.

    It occurs to me that there's only one way to win Secret Santa this year:

    Although even with the required cash, it'd be pushing it to have it to your Santee in time, with the 6-8 week build time.

    Huh, it is true what they say. Doing the '999.99' thing DOES make anything seem cheaper than rounding up.

    On Christmas day, you open a single envelope, containing a single line of text:
    "Brace yourself. Furniture is coming."

    I have never seen Die Hard in my life, and I really should have many years ago.

    Sorry everyone. I've let you down, apparently.

    Die Hard for the awesome.

    Christmas Vacation for the hilarity.

    Muppet Christmas Carol or get out.

    This guy knows what the fuck he's talkin' about.
    White Christmas is the best Christmas movie.

    Also this guy.

    Bing Crosby has the best Christmas songs (though Burl Ives is close).

    Everyone loves Die Hard for Bruce Willis. I, however, love it for Reginald VelJohnson.

    At least 7 or 8 times during December, as is tradition. But I don't really "stick" to any one movie. We've got a library of like 30 or so Christmas movies on the Apple TV ready to go for December.

    It's A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation for me. I'm lucky to have avoided being burnt out by the yearly marathon, because A Christmas Story is way more entertaining as an adult than it was as a kid (though I did still like it as a kid).

    Out of all the Christmas Carol adaptations, I think Scrooge (the 1970 musical starring Albert Finney) is my favorite.

    I think it is.

    And someone mentioned Christmas Vacation, I believe, but they were wrong. Best Christmas movie(s) is Home Alone.

    It's set at Christmas. And is excellent. That is all that is needed.

    It's funny. The first time I've even see Die Hard was this year. And it was in Feb. :(

    It's damn good though. I'm going to check netflix for it now.

    Die Hard is not on Netflix Instant or Amazon Prime for free. Guess I'll just put it in my netflix queue.

    I just wanted to give people a heads up, my deadline on one of my papers got extended to Friday, which means that I'm stuck working on stuff for longer. I will get the assignments out as soon as I'm able to. My apologies!

    No worries. Thanks for all your hard work Hypatia.

    So I always hate to say goodbye to Halloween and it's fun festivities, but as far as I'm concerned Nov. 1st marks the start of the Christmas festivities, so I'm excited about that. Croco will be putting on his hat tomorrow.

    Agree'd on both parts! Don't worry and thanks again for all of the time and effort you put into this!

    I'm still waist deep in general spookiness and hate to see it end, but I'll be frothing for Christmas come midnight. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been frothing for Christmas for at least a few days. So excited.

    Yes, for some weird ass reason I prefer the second one.

    I might actually prefer it as well

    But I like randomly pulling out quotes from the first movie a lot

    "This is Peter McAllister, the father."

    Also sometimes when I pay for things I'll be like "Credit card? You got it!"

    I have to take the obvious route and go with Die Hard. That said, it's become a bad tradition to watch Christmas Vacation when it invariably shows on free-to-air every Christmas evening. Randy Quaid.

    Has anyone suggested Last.fm profile stalking for ideas? Music is a (potentially embarrassing) window into the soul, kinda sorta. Feel free to use mine for inspiration, judgement and mockery - same user name.

    There are so many great quotes. Like the quivering "Haarryyy? Haaarrryyy!!?"

    And the part where Kevin chucks bricks at them. Oh man I love slapstick humor like that.

    Hey Santa, remember that time when I said I had a semi-competent computer? About that... In preparation for Sandy's winds, I shut down the beastie, and disconnected the power on it. a few days later I plug it back in, and turn it on. Apparently the motherboard is a silly goose and dislikes my preemptive safety plans and just flat out died. So scratch that, just have the old Mac Book now. That and the consoles seem to be okay still.
    Friends don't let friends Dell.

    My favourite Christmas film is probably Gremlins.

    Or Silent Night, Deadly Night. Or Jack Frost (not the kids one).

    (yes, Santa, I love terribly bad movies.)

    Really? Is there no love for Charlie Brown? It's probably the only Christmas show/movie I watch reliably each year.
