    I watched office Christmas party with Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston over the weekend, two hours I can never get back. It's terrible.

    Watched the muppets christmas carol yesterday, had forgotten how good it was!!

    Agree with the comments about 'office christmas party' in the posts above, not totally garbage but not great at all either.

    I love the muppets anyway but had always just stuck on 'scrooged' or 'A christmas carol' for that particular story, for some reason had completely bypassed it for years, its genuinely a great addition to the christmas movie collection that I'll not leave out again, the kids had never seen it (to my shame) and loved it as well.

    Cringiest ending I've ever seen (and that's saying a lot). While I was watching I was thinking it would be OK to let my niece's watch but then in the orphanage or whatever it was the old lady says they can't afford presents for under the tree. Then I thought ah that's OK you could play that off but then she went on to say they hold back a bit of money to fill the stockings. So that ruined that.

    A truly terrible movie but of course I still quite enjoyed it. (Maybe especially when yer man had his top off) :D

    Is there any reference to non believing in it? Wouldn't mind watching it but have a 7 year old and don't want any doubt creeping in.

    We watch national Lampoons Christmas vacation every year. Still makes me laugh.

    There is, briefly at the start. But it is brief.

    There's a made-for-tv Christmas film called Christmas On The Bayou on RTE 1 at 3.45. I've never seen it but I'd imagine that it follows the same formula as the rest of them!

    Is that the scene where the big brother says, "You actually don't know, do you? There is NO........................ way Santa ever watches your videos." Or is there more?

    This is soooooo annoying. It's why we've never watched Elf. I check Christmas movies on Common Sense Media and the parent reviews always mention if the possibility that Santa isn't real is mentioned. I'm especially annoyed about Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. It's a collection of really great Christmas cartoons except for the Goofy one which is aaaaaalllllllllllll about Goofy's son Max not believing in Santa. It's very frustrating.

    Thanks. The reviews for this are excellent so I gave it a bit of a skim through last night and saw that scene which I think we should be well able to watch without questions.

    The Santa Clause is on now, on Sky Christmas.
    I don't think I watched since it was released on video after its cinema release.

    I forgot how good it is! All the adult jokes now make sense! So THAT'S what my Dad was laughing at!

    OK I have a confession. Until this week I had never watched Arthur Christmas. Not sure why. Just had some strange suspicion it wasn't for me. But now I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner. It's fantastic!!! I loved every second. It's definitely on my list of favourites and I'll be watching it every year. Might even watch again this year closer to the big day!

    We watched planes trains and automobiles last night which is kind of Christmasy. I forgot how good it was.

    I tried to watch Arthur Christmas last year and had to switch it off.

    I see the Christmas Chronicles got 1 star in the Guardian review.
