    FUCK YOU, TBS.

    Christmas Vacation is 25 years old this year. Damn. I vividly remember seeing it with my dad on open night and believe me: I've never heard a theatre erupt with more insane laughter in my life. People fell out of their chairs into the aisles.

    Bad Santa, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and whatever that Ryan Reynolds/Anna Faris movie is are among the best for me.

    While the classics are great, at this point, I've seen them so many times I'm sick of them.

    My favorite holiday thing to watch are the eight South Park Christmas specials. I get together with any of my friends that are in town on Christmas night and we power through them with lots of booze.

    In addition to that I really like Bad Santa. Home Alone is very nostalgic for me because it is the first movie I ever got on VHS.

    I find Christmas Vacation to be ok. There are a lot of funny moments in it, but it just doesn't all come together. I more often than not think about sub par it is when compared to the original Vacation. I know. This makes me a terrible human being.

    Shane Black really loves Christmas. He's like an evil, wisecracking Santa with a coke problem. The Long Kiss Goodnight with Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect holiday movie. Explosions, gunplay, more explosions, Samuel L. Jackson... Samuel L. Jackson. And, I guess, it's set around Christmas.

    The husband wanted to weigh in and throw his vote to A Muppet Family Christmas - not the Muppet Christmas movie, but the made-for-tv film that was aired in 1987. Apparently it's the only Christmas movie that he really enjoys.

    My dad and I have started a tradition of watching the Always Sunny Christmas special. It's great.

    The only other movie I end up watching every year is Love, Actually and I'm not sorry about it.

    Also, on Christmas day I always go over to my best friend's house to eat cinnamon buns and exchange gifts, and she and her dad have a tradition of watching all of the Lord of the Rings movies in a row that day, so I always end up watching some of them. (Or, more accurately, talking with her mom while sometimes chiming in with yelling at the screen.)

    For a 90's film it hasn't aged at all. It's just three amazing performances and firecracker dialogue for 90 straight minutes, with the hero not growing as a character whatsoever by the end. Awesome.

    "Christ. I'm NEVER having kids."

    I grew up with a mother that was, and still is, apeshit for Christmas so I guess some of it rubbed off on me. I love and make sure to watch every year: It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle On 34th St ( the old one, not that shit released in the 90's), The Homecoming, Charlie Brown Christmas, Claymation Christmas, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Frosty The Snowman and all the old Rankin Bass ones. I always liked John Denver and The Muppets: A Christmas Together and have that on VHS still. Oh, and The Santa Clause was pretty good too.

    We lived in the country with just teo tv channels, 3 in Winter, and nothing got us more excited than seeing this come on the screen:



    However, I wait until closer to Christmas to watch them, ABC Family and other channels seem to start earlier and earlier with non stop Christmas that is a classic mixed in with shit.

    I havent seen Bad Santa yet, guess I should check it out.

    The world will descend into madness if anyone in my family buys Christmas gifts before this glorious cunt shows up on air:
