T'is the season for over indulgence. And while some of us may decide to spend this holiday season getting drunk and screaming at our family and friends, we can at least all look forward to one reliable and entertaining constant during December:

Television. That little light box that's given us Christmas specials, constant repeats of James Bond and a steady stream of seasonal movies.

You guys got a movie that always gets you in the mood for holiday cheer? Or I guess a tradition for those of you without TVs back home? Or hell, even some winter tradition for those that don't celebrate Decemberween?

Speaking of hell, don't forget to check out The Very ImPortant New Years Eve Show. I'll be making plenty of appearances to promote my show's new season and my general awesomeness.

It seems we're television buds, [ said with a griiiiin ]

As for my Christmas traditions, yelling at carolers.

video; fiiine, switches to vid

[textualhealing]

Yelling at carolers is a fine use of time. Does that mean I get to yell at you during the show? You're essentially carolling on live TV, right?

A Charlie Brown Christmas. Hands down. But Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer is up there.

Also, what the hell is The Very ImPortant New Years Eve Show.

[textualhealing]

It's a show. On New Years Eve. With imPorts. More importantly; are those are your classic movie selections? Wow.

I'd say that I like to donate to the needy on Christmas, but I hardly need Christmas to do that, do I? I should say that ought to be true of everyone, honestly.

Boring. Favorite movie tho?

You're awfully sentimental today.

Ugh, I know. Blame it on a stressful week. Or my happy hour starting at 8am today.

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie, no question. But only the first one.

Okay, and arguably the second, 'cause it also takes place on Christmas, but it's kinda derivative.

[textualhealing]

A damn fine choice. I might actually agree with you on that one. First is the better.

video

[airshow]

Ooh, tough choice... but I think I'm gonna hafta go with Home Alone. Or, a little more non-traditionally, Gremlins.

video

[textualhealing]

Why am I not surprised Home Alone would be your first choice here?

[acclimatized]

The Snowman. It wouldn't be Christmas without that film.

[textualhealing]

Frosty?

Christmas wasn't really a big deal back home.
But in Japan almost everybody orders KFC and a Christmas cake.
Me and my papa would just eat whatever we felt like for dinner and then we'd have strawberry shortcake.
When I was little he'd take me on top of the rv to look at the sky and tell me stories.

So nostalgic nevertheless?
Something about this time of year gets us remembering.

[countdone]

I like "A Christmas Carol." Even if people watch it every year and don't learn a damned thing.

text

[textualhealing]

Are you suggesting you can learn things from movies?

[The less said about her Christmas experiences as a child, the better. It was difficult.]

Mulled wine, mistletoe and Madison Avenue. That pretty much sums up my Christmas tradition when I'm not on holiday somewhere.

No family to scream at so I guess I don't need to worry about that one. [Yay.]

What's your Christmas tradition, Jeff?

text;

[textualhealing]

[Jeff's childhood memories of Christmas are pretty shit too. Movies are way better.]

Enjoying some quality time with myself and a bottle of scotch.
I guess this year is a little different tho.

[puppydoctor]

My mom would always put on It's a Wonderful Life and we'd all spend the whole movie arguing about something stupid. So that's the TV part and the drunk yelling all packed into one.

I was so glad to have to work the last couple of Christmases, but I guess it's different now, looking back.

What's changed?
