Christmas TV, Films etc: Old and New🎄 📺

One of my favourite Christmas films is the relatively unknown, One Magic Christmas. I manage to see it every year. Its just a lovely little film.

Elf is a favourite. We have our 2 youngest children at home so we watch that on Christmas Eve clad in new Christmas pyjamas . The children, not me.

Love Actually is OK

I'm going to be very brave and say It's a Wonderful Life is my least favourite. Sorry!

Silverlining yes, I’ve seen Dinner For One. I think that it’s quite creepy, and yes, not at all funny.
It’s definitely an odd cultural phenomenon!

Silverlining yes, I’ve seen Dinner For One. I think that it’s quite creepy, and yes, not at all funny.
It’s definitely an odd cultural phenomenon!

I remember seeing a programme ( most likely a BBC 4 programme ) ages ago which said how popular Dinner for One was in Europe.

A boy called Christmas, The flight before Christmas, Arthur Christmas, three of my favourites.

I love Dinner For One. I always thought Freddie Frinton was funny what ever he did. Also on my list for Christmas are National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Love Actually, The Muppet Christmas Carol (I like the Jim Carrey version too), Alistair Sim's Scrooge and somewhere I will fit in the BBC's Box Of Delights which I've got on DVD.

Yes Silverlining we saw Dinner For One on New Year’s Eves when we lived in Germany.
It didn’t tickle me but it is a German favourite as you say.
I have laughed heartily at Nation Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation this afternoon although that humour would not be everyone’s; it is slapstick.
I am also looking forward to Miranda Hart’s Christmas DVD - 2 Christmas special episodes from 2010 and 2012. It’s so good to have a good laugh.

I've just been watching Patrick Stewart's version of A Christmas Carol. I've never seen it before and I thought it was extremely good. Very true to the book and much darker than some of the other versions.
