    Jingle All The Way was on somewhere recently too.

    Was in Blanch Centre today and blaring out was "Do They Know It's Christmas". I said to myself, it's not fu(king Christmas, it's only early November for godssake!"

    Most people are happier around Xmas, why don't we make Xmas a permanent all year around thing so everyone is happy all of the time?

    Ah I like that movie, like Jingle All The Way too. Might watch them with the young wan. In December though.

    The rule in our house is the decs don't go up before the first Saturday in December. That probably seems a bit early for some. When it was just meself and herself it was the second Saturday but with a little one in the house she's talked me into letting her put them up a week ahead. Makes feck all odds to me tbh. She tends to rip em down before New Years.

    Sorry now, I've answered a question no-one asked there!

    Santa Clause is an abdomination of a movie and should never be shown, whether it's Christmas or not.

    Christmas would want to fcuk off until about two days before the 25th and then want to **** off again straight after it. Not looking forward to it at all, first year being on the dole for it and I can safely say it will be miserable.

    Are they going to be showing Christmas films in the run up to Christmas?

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say - yes.

    Better than showing them in the middle of June.

    The worst part of Christmas is people bitching about how it's coming earlier every year. Just ignore it you whingebags. And tell your ugly kids to shut up if they start going on about it too much. Jesus.

    Would you complain if they showed Die Hard in July?

    The Santa Clause is not the worst of the Christmas movies tbh.

    Its no Home Alone though.

    The best thing about Christmas is being able to watch Die Hard in a properly festive setting.

    ....I still think the festive season requires more Asian gangster however. Sets the tone and all that.

    Nov 1st they start with it, it's annoying because it's actually a good movie channel the rest of the year and one of the few 'free' movie stations on Sky.

    It does come earlier every year, it rolls over, I bought this years presents in 1993. Can't wait to see their smiles of joy when they rip the shrinkwrap off that brand new minidisc player :).

    every hour if you ask me, in fact they should dedicate as many channel's as they need to it so they can show it on the hour every hour....

    its not lazy, its well thought out of them to be fair, 7 weeks to christmas = 7 saturdays, which is only 7 childrens christmas movies....


    between home alone 1,2,3
    the santa claus 1,2,3
    fred claus...


    thats 7 alone never mind all the other childrens christmas movies they could have to show. so they started at the appropiate time, if it was before halloween now that would be lazy especially with so many great halloween movies for children, like the ring, saw and the nightmare before Christmas.......oh wait!
