Just crap on TV on Christmas Eve

[Gorn Captain]

Where are the days of Bing Crosby and White Christmas?
It's a wonderful life?

We just have about 25 channels here, and what do they show?
Home Alone?
Problem Child?

Are they trying to tell us something?
Beware of obnoxious kids?

Not even The Sound of Music...
But that's good, 'cause I can't stand it.
The only version I want to see is when, as Julie Andrews comes up the hill and starts "the hills are aliiiiiiive....", that a sniper plugs a hollow point bullet in the center of her forehead. Kapow!
Or that she's carried away by the crew of The Hills Have Eyes.....

Well, enough Christmas cheer.
Eat, drink, and be merry my friends.

I'll be spending my Christmas, as usual, with my family.
We will get into an argument, not speak to each other for months, and exchange our gifts in May, when we're back on speaking terms.

Fun!Fun!Fun!

White Christmas is airing on ABC Family either tonight or tomorrow night.

ABC Family seems to have cut back on the Rankin/Bass shows this year. They aired them, but not every hour for the past month.

There are too many crappy made for TV Christmas movies clogging the airwaves. Every cable channel does a new one every year, and then they show that one, and all the previous ones ad-nauseum. Most involve a mediocre sitcom star becoming Santa Claus. It's Tim Allen-envy, I tells ya.

Those type of programs have kept the various versions of "A Christmas Carol" off the air for a while.

That damned Christmas Story for 24 hours straight is still the worst of the worst any channel has ever come up with as a "Holiday Tradition"

If that movie was totally lost and never appeared again THEN I would truly celebrate Christmas.

Now hold on. How can you NOT like A Christmas Story and be a toy collector?

The allure, the power of a toy, the hold it has on a kid's imagination is the whole point of the movie.

I did like it ..... once.

But they totally ruined it by playing it so much.

Oh...okay. I get that.

I just watch it on DVD a few weeks before. We'll keep it on in the background at various family functions. I could watch it over and over, but I see why it would grate on someone.

I got about 60 friends and family coming Christmas Eve. Open door from 5pm to 1am. No time for TV. Anyone in the Mass area feel free to stop by. Always room for a few more. Happy Holidays!!!

Christmas Eve is to be spent with family, not in front of the TV, but making merry. I just put on some Christmas tunes, open the wine and tap the keg and we are all set to go. Have a Merry Christmas everybody!
