Every year I drag all of my various Christmas DVDs upstairs and leave them on the TV stand. As we watch them I bring them back downstairs.
Since Dec 1st I'd guess we've easily watched about twenty ranging from movies to classic cartoon etc.
I save Scrooge for the 25th as tradition.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

As many as I can. I have so many, it's hard, and I like to rotate so that even old favorites don't feel welcome. But I'd say I have to view Rudolph, Frosty, The Grinch, Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, Charlie Brown, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and at least one adaptation of a Christmas Carol.
I also watch a lot of Christmas horror. (don't judge me)
I also watch a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies (don't judge me). Seriously, those things are like warm egg nog. My family just got into them. They are all the same, and completely predictable, but during a busy and stressful time of year, they tend to accomplish just what they set out to do, and meet every light entertainment need you might have.Comment

Quite honestly, I'd scoffed at them before, but that was before sitting down with the family with my daughter who's the right age for it, and having a movie predictably yet satisfyingly accomplish precisely what it sets out to do.Comment
