I made chocolate almond toffee today!  I would like to make that a tradition!

Of course, I enjoy watching Christmas movies the whole month leading up to the big day--including, each year, at least one iteration of The Grinch.

I haven't seen a single Christmas movie yet this year.  But if I had to choose one, let's make it something simple and wholesome.  Charlie Brown Christmas sounds good. :D

Okay, what a good "feel good" Christmas movie someone recommends?  I don't want to think about 2020 and instead be transported into a happy Christmas film.

What about a funny Christmas movie?  "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

I'd say for your classic movies, stick with It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and at least one version of Dickens' Christmas Carol.  Everyone's got a favorite. I watched a very novel modern telling last year that opens with a kid angrily pissing on Jacob Marley's grave--and just gets weirder from there on. Oh, and who could forget TBS's 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story--as much a staple of your holly jolly holiday dinner as the turkey and glazed ham.

Now, for animated offerings, you have three staples-- perennial favorite Charlie Brown, The Grinch (Chuck Jones' version), and, of course, Mr. Magoo.


Best cartoon Scrooge that isn't a little white Scottish duck.    ;D

All of those are great choices for sure.  All classics.  For humor, I always found "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" a real hoot!

I love how haunting one car make "A Christmas Carol" as well.  There is child friendly all the way to slightly unsettling.  It's weird to think a happy time of year, Christmas, can have such a dark story tied to it.

Well, I've mentioned watching Christmas movies all month.... it's fun looking for sneezes in them, and even more finding them.

Okay Mr. Pop-Culture Media Guy @NostradamusTheSeer. What is a good overall, underrated Christmas movie to watch?  Hopefully something I've never seen.

Well, if you like a non-traditional Christmas tale with a buff, hard-rocking Santa, try The Santa Chronicles.

Kurt Russell and his real-life wife Goldie Hawn star as Ol' St. Nick and Mrs. Claus--and it was such a hit they reprised their roles for the sequel.



Now for something a bit more sentimental, try Klaus, a wonderful animated movie about the jolly one's humble origins as a reclusive carpenter, and his partner, a postman in a remote, frozen Northern hamlet, who delivers Klaus' homemade toys to the happy, expectant townschildren. I must admit, this one actually brought a wee tear to my hardened old eye.

And then there's the new Christmas Carol remake I mentioned earlier in this thread. I tried to find that scene where the kid pees on Jacob Marley's grave on YouTube, but they don't have it there.  And, while I have no issue with Bob Cratchit in an interracial marriage, why is she some sort of voodoo princess in this iteration? Cursing? Nudity? And young Scrooge getting sodomized by an evil headmaster during his days at boarding school? That's not so much "woke" as woke up, went to take a leak, missed the bowl and then fell back to sleep sitting on the toilet. Read more about it here, but trust me, you'll probably want to skip it.

Merry Christmas all!  I still want to see Klaus. That studio recent;y had their latest project rejected by Netflix.  So it won't be there.
