Just out of curiosity, what story is everyone's favorite story in Love Actually?
Mine is Colin Firth and the Portugese maid
Also two Christmas episodes on telly last night. At about 6pm there was a Christmas edition of something called "Save Money, Eat Well"? The chef had to make Christmas dinner for a family of 8 for less than a fiver a head.
At 10pm on E4 , the Christmas edition of The Inbetweeners was on.
Two totally different types of shows I'll grant you.0 -

always disliked the Liam Neeson one, and the one with yer man heading to Milwaukee and pulling every c list celeb with a pulse.
Dont like the kiera Knightley one either. That whole video thing and banoffi pie and the craic with the cards... nah.
Love the Bill Nighy (billy mac) one, and the colin Firth one. And surely everyone likes the high grant one? The emma Thompson and laura linney ones I find sad but add a good balance."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Needed something fluffy to watch. Found I'd recorded RTE's Christmas panto as my neighbour's little girl was in it and some of my friends. So leaving aside that it's a Tuesday in June, lunchtime and I'm 43 I've put it on. Even leaving the ads play 0

On that note, The Christmas song (sang by Nat King Cole) was written by Mel Torme in the middle of a blazing hot summer.
From wikipedia:
According to Tormé, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed (according to BMI) Christmas song was born.[1] "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells's) piano with four lines written in pencil", Tormé recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."
Mad to think a song so identifiable with winter & christmas was conceived in the middle of summer, so its not just us here that think about Christmas all year round "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Caught the end of it. They play 'Let it Snow' as the closing credits are rolling so guess that makes it qualify
Funnily enough I always considered Die Hard II more of a Christmas film than the first. Maybe its the snow:pac:"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Got a big bag of clothes/shoes for the kids off my sister over the weekend. My wife opened it last night when we got home and was a pair of reindeer slippers for the young lad. He put them straight on and wouldn't take then off. Was running around singing Jingle Bells and asking me how long till Santa would be coming! Bless him, really made me smile 0
