Christmas Movies for the Family After You’ve Watched the Ones You Always Watch:
"I love the Christmas classic movies and watch as many as I can every year, including at least a couple of versions of “A Christmas Carol” and Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in “White Christmas.”  But there are many great Christmas films that don’t get mentioned as often and I like to remind families that these are worth making time for as well."

“A Very Elfish Situationship”

"Emma Thompson’s quiet suffering in the hit Christmas movie helped me to realise that I didn’t need to stay with someone who had betrayed me."
Editor's Note:  This shitty film has done some good.

"When you think about music in New Orleans — you probably think of jazz or blues, or maybe funk and bounce.  Christmas carols? Not so much."

"Grace Dent takes a televisual trip back in time to Christmas 1985."

"A highlight from our holiday stream to benefit World Central Kitchen."

"In the city of Saku, central Japan, Santa Claus has arrived in hot-air balloons to deliver Christmas cheer to children."

"The first edition of The Making of Doctor Who, published by Piccolo in 1972, was credited — on the front cover — to Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks. The title page then reversed the names, suggesting an equity of credit. Yet, as we saw last time, I think Hulke did most if not all of the writing and took 75% of the royalties."

"TV host who came under pressure from Trump government will say: ‘From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year’"

"Most people don't even give you the time of day but these people do, no matter who you are."
