    To be honest they've been on all year. You just pay more attention to them at Xmas. 11:11 syndrome.

    That one with Tim Allen

    In fact, all films with Tim Allen seem to be shown around Christmas.

    There's usually a load of Bond fims on too.

    Die Hard's on year round...

    It's A Wonderful Life is only ever on at christmas which is odd since it's not strictly a christmas movie and is excellent at any time of year.

    It isn't Xmas until you get the RTE guide and circle all the stuff you want to watch and then end up missing it all.
