I love egg nog!

I cannot believe you sold me out!

I didn't want to leave you stranded but I had to  ;)
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I am a complete Christmas sap, I grew up in a family where Christmas is huge.  We watch ALL the Christmas movies every year and play the same Christmas music (mainly Bing Crosby) every year while decorating the tree (live of course).  We used to drive around and look at the light displays when I was little.  Man, reading this back is making a bit sick because it is so sappy, but I don't care.   ;D

My top 5 Christmas TV events

I'm a little sick of the top 2, but sometimes I still end up checking out at least some scenes

5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town (The classic, I like this one slightly better than Rudolph
4. Year Without a Santa Claus (Heat Miser & Snow Miser kick ass)
3. A Christmas Carol (with Patrick Stewart, as per my earlier post)
2. It's a Wonderful Life (how original of me!)
1. Miracle on 34th Street (the ORIGINAL, none of those abortions)

Nice list, but it's just not Christmas without the Rankin/Bass classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas!

My Top 5 Christmas Movies, the ones that really get me in the Christmas Spirit:

1. Requiem for a Dream
2. Trainspotting
3. Last King of Scotland (We like to watch the part where the wife gets her arms and legs reversed over and over again.)
4. A Clockwork Orange
5. 1984, the version where you expect a body part to fall off during the sex scene because they look like corpses

Great songs on that one, rarely shown on TV anymore, but I do have my own copy....

We have the tree up from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day. Though I'm a little slow this year because I want to buy a new fake tree. I have a five foot tree and I want a 6+ tree. I would do the real tree if not for having three cats.

I open presents with my boyfriend's family when they come to Chicago a few weeks prior to Christmas. We go to my Dad's for Christmas Eve and then my Mom's for Christmas day and then when we get back to Chicago, my boyfriend and I open the gifts for each other alone. So we have four gift giving events!
