    Must have been something in the water yesterday for Christmas vacation, we had it and home alone on yesterday.
    Still think Christmas vacation is my favourite Christmas film, never gets old.

    Out on love actually but didn't even get to the monologue as life got in the way as kids tend to do. Will try again tonight.

    Watched the third Christmas Prince on Friday night.. Enjoyed it a lot more than the second one which I really looked forward to last year and then was disappointed.

    Watched 'The Family Man' with Nicolas Cage & Tea Leoni again last night, a wonderful little film that we have added to our christmas movie list over the last few years. Theres still once scene near the end that brings a small tear to the eye but overall its a film i have grown to love dearly.
    (It seems having kids has mellowed this grumpy old sod afterall)

    Even herself loves it & freely admits that the annual routine of watching the same dozen or so christmas movies every year a bit of a chore at times, but never feels that about this one.

    Not everyones cup of tea but it pulls at my heartstrings & i'd happily recommend.

    DVD.

    If you can find it give it a watch, a super little movie. If you have kids I'd be amazed if it didnt hit you in the feels!

    YES DvB I LOVE that movie! Not many people have heard of it so it’s a real treat for me when I hear someone has.

    I watched it when it came out first at the cinema,

    pity it does not get shown on TV as often as other Christmas movies.

    Great minds & all that!!:D

    We watched 'Love Actually' last night, hadn't watched it in years (thought we had every year but there was loads I'd forgotten) & I got a real good laugh out of it.
    Still not mad on the Liam Neeson storyline but love the Colin Firth one & Hugh Grant is fantastic in it... had forgotten how large the cast was too, its huge!

    The fact it ends with one of the greatest songs of all time is a bonus too!!

    Watched 'Scrooged' with Bill Murray last night. Only third Christmas movie of the season due to busy couple of weeks. Another 'oldie but a goodie' and was nice way to relax after another hectic enough day.

    I've started working my way through this years Netflix offerings 2 down, many to go .

    The Knight before Christmas - absolute fantasy romance nonsense. It was exactly what I expected and I loved how unapologetically ridiculous it was.

    Let it Snow - Love actually for teenagers in a snowed in town. Not half as good as the real deal but it was enjoyable and had a random pig in it so I don't consider it a waste of time.

    Get Santa is great fun. Pinches from a good few films and not deep in the slightest but enjoyable.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
