I sit down with the wife and kids every year and watch
A Christmas Story

It just never gets old.
The Nightmare before Christmas
usually sneaks in there too.


I imagine that one of these days the kids will get old enough to appreciate THE classic. You know, the one with Jimmy Stewart...


here come the smartass Hitchcock and Mr. Smith refrences

Santa's Sluts Vols 3-9 are always pretty good.

Nightmare is a recent one for me. Love Actually may show up this year.

Some Muppet stuff, 'natch. Usually, the Family Christmas special and the Christmas Carol movie.

The only thing I'm looking forward to watching is Falcons/Carolina on Christmas Eve.

As far as Christmas movies go, I'll stop and watch Scrooged or Die Hard if either are on and I'm just mongering on the couch.


Yippeekayaa motherfucker.

Is that the one where Rudolph grows his "horn"?

Yeah, classic.

The "down the chimney" scene always impressed me as well.

I read that as "and then we jerked off early 90's CBS".

I have no holiday movie traditions. I like the old Frosty & Rudolph stop animation classics.

Somehow i've never seen It's a Wonderful Life, or Miracle on 34th St.... I'm sure there are others. The holidays is usually prime gigging time, so i guess i'll chalk it up to making cash.

Not this holiday season though... i'm going to take it easy, then go visit friends in Chicago.

This needs to be remedied.
I didn't see It's a Wonderful Life in its entirety until I took a History Of Film class in college. It far and away surpassed any expectations that I had.

Simply a great movie, overexposure be damned.

At this point i'm wearing my ignorance of such matters as a badge of honor.

Urban diction... Henceforth, the sexual act known as azz2mouf ("ass-to-mouth"), and involving the anal sodomy of one's partner by either real phallus or ersatz (read: strap-on) proceeded by the oral sodomy of same, shall be referred to as "goin' Alterra". This change is due the apparent commonplace of baristas at Alterra Coffee Roasters enjoying the act so much, to the detriment of other sexual pleasures. (Then again, you don't want to get pregnant by some anime-lovin', RPG-aficionado, Japanophile geek from the local cinema, when you already have a boyfriend of long-standing who doesn't know that you are in an open-relationship.)

Sample quotation: "Slurp this santorum off my junk. We're goin' Alterra tonite".

Also, as a play on the Outback ad, which is itself a play on an Of Montreal song:

Let's go Alterra tonite, there's so much ooze on my penis
Let's go Alterra tonite, have that shit-eatin' grin in the mornin'

My wife loves Christmas Vacation & Die Hard.

I love Gremlins & A Christmas Story.

We try to catch as many as we can.

And oh yeah - the animated Grinch. Screw Ron Howard and the way he ruined my childhood. Great design-work, terrible overtelling of the story.

As a Jew, I have to say it:
Somebody needs to make a GOOD Hannukkah movie one of these days.

And don't give me that Adam Sandler shit. He sucks a Santa bag full of dicks.
