Premature Christmas Watching Thread

What are you guys watching this holiday season?

I've been waiting until December 1 to start my festive viewings, but my roommates and I have decided to cave tonight and watch the 1966 Grinch special and the Jim Carrey Grinch. Then I'm starting tomorrow with Moral Oral over breakfast, and from there, it's Christmas all month sirs.

 

Watched Elf over the weekend and Rudolph was on TV last night.

 

I think Elf is going to be the one I start December with tomorrow evening. Last year, my roommate and I decided we would watch it every night before bed. We made it until December 4th. It didn't stop being fantastic, but there were other movies that needed some love

 

Watched Rudolph and some Hallmark Channel movies already.

 

My wife was out of town today so I had a quiet evening alone as I sifted through some old specials I used to watch as a kid. I watched the Hey Arnold Christmas special. It's been kind of an emotional year. I cried.

 

I was about to watch that for the first time yesterday morning, but it was 20 minutes and I only had time for a 10 minute show. It's worth checking out?

 

Oh yes. One of those underrated specials that manages to hold up really well. Given current events, it also feels very timely.

 

Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are my favorite Christmas movies

 

So far I've watched Krampus, A Very Murray Christmas, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas, and Silent Night Deadly Night

 

I can't stand most Christmas specials and Christmas movies, so if I do watch Christmas films it's either something like Die Hard or one of Shane Black's films, or something like The Night Before (which was actually surprisingly pretty good last year!). The only straight-up Christmas movies generally considered "classics" that I enjoy are Christmas Vacation and Elf.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is too caught in two worlds (much like it's main character, heh heh) for me to fully be a Christmas film.

 

Night Before isn't on any streaming sites (Netflix, Amazon, etc.), right?

 

Two of the best

 

Home Alone as well.

 

I don't believe so but it was definitely worth checking out.

 

I've resolved to only watch Christmas movies/specials that I've never seen this year. So far, that's just Krampus and The Night Before. Loved Krampus, kinda lost interest in Night Before. but I cannot wait for this: Seeso invites you to Andy Richter’s Home For The Holidays this Christmas

 

Got broken up with cuz of this.

edit: wrong thread

 

Watched Elf last night and was immediately reminded why it's a modern Christmas classic. The performances, the sets, the story, everything about it is so fantastic. Definitely my favourite Christmas movie to come out since - what - Home Alone? (Though I think after a few rewatches, Arthur Christmas might climb up there, which I just watched for the first time the other night)

 

Need to get in Christmas Vacation, a Christmas Horror Story, Silent Night Deadly Night 1-3 and the reboot, Elf, and Home Alone which is somehow missing from my collection

 

I love cheesy family Christmas movies. My personal tradition is to just sit and play 3DS or something while watching. This year I've gotten through The Santa Clause 1 and 2, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Jingle All the Way, and the classics, Rudolph and Frosty. Saving Elf to watch with my little sister and then Christmas Vacation/A Christmas Story for family watching on Christmas Eve. I'm a sucker for holiday traditions and I'm pretty convinced I'll do the exact same things every year until I die.
