Meh.
None of the above? Christmas to me now is just some time with the wife and some good food, and maybe a hat tip to my Maker. It's nothing like it used to be and I don't know if I miss it or not. The asshole relatives, the bills, the hangovers and nausea? I think I am glad to be done with it to be honest. There was something deeply wrong with Christmas and the nonsense that went with it and I didn't realize it until I was able to step away from it.
This year maybe we'll go somewhere with the dawgs, maybe a walk out in the woods. We can't go far because Macey is infirm... but we should get her out into the trees one last time at least? I will figure something out.
Won't be giving Hollywood or Hallmark the time of day... that's all I know for sure.
Same here Filthie... It is truly the silly season. I would rather share a good dinner, good friends and family. I don't put up any Christmas decorations, in fact any decorations for any Hallmark Holiday. We, as a society have gotten away from the meanings and traditions of a holiday, only to line the pockets of stores and bankers, that is why all have been commercialized. Oh and one of the times I make a proper Thank You to my Maker.
ReplyDelete"Die Hard" by a mile !!
ReplyDelete"IAWL" is a one and done movie for me, ain't that great to me.
You beat me to it, Matthew, but I second "Die Hard".
DeleteElf, #3. Such a great story line and Will F. did such a great job as being an innocent and naive product of the North Pole. The movie amuses me and makes me laugh every time I watch it.
ReplyDeleteScrooge with Alistar Sim. I watch it every Christmas eve for years and years. When he comes to the line in his nephew's house and says to his nephew's wife "Can you forgive a pigheaded old fool for having no eyes to see with and no ears to hear with, all these years"
ReplyDeleteI always tear up.
If I was to choose from the above pix, It would have to be "It's a wonderful life" over "Miracle on 34st street". It's a toss up but I have to give an extra point to "wonderful" because I think Donna Reed is a better looking babe than Maureen O'hara
"Donna Reed is a better looking babe than Maureen O'hara"--them's fightin' words, Rich...
DeleteSorry fav, just an opinion. I didn't say Maureen wan't a fox, I just gave the edge to Donna. Cheers bro
DeleteI pick all of them. No way can I pick a best from that.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Carol with George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge
ReplyDeleteI am already so over all the Christmas music. 'Frosty the Snowman six times a day ? I give. No mas.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Be kind (or at least polite) to each other.
4 & 10
ReplyDeleteI am all done with cgi.
I have has my fill. All i watch is old stuff
The best thing that happened to our family (6 kids) was when we all decided no more gift exchange. We were in our twentys and didn't always have extra money at Christmas. We all still got together at Mom and Dads and had a party and she put out a spread of food. We all laughed and joked and enjoyed each others company and loved on Mom and Dad. Good times,Allan
ReplyDeleteI like IAWL, I relate to George probably too much. But that Donna Reed, and Violet Bick, ooo lah lah! 5, 12, then 6 and 11.
ReplyDeleteI think one or two are public domain now. You can find them on oytub, or somesuch.
Don't tell favill about Donna Reed, I think he has the hots for Maureen O'Hara lol
Delete4 & 6, for me.
ReplyDeletethe rest of the family insists on 3 & 11
It's a Wonderful Life even though we're living in Pottersville instead of Bedford Falls.
ReplyDeleteNone of the above. The only Christmas movie I'll ever watch again is Bad Santa.
ReplyDeleteI just hope your little dog Macey gets her "second wind" and feels better.
ReplyDeletenumber 11. it ain't Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi plaza.
ReplyDelete#4, but #11 comes in close behind
