WEll I won’t be watching my regular “go to”Christmas film Love Actually this year.
There’s not enough Kleenex in the house

I don't watch tv during the day and I cannot remember the last time I watched any of the usual christmas stuff, personally I think most of it is rubbish. I rarely watch any of the films they show. With the hundreds that are made each year why can't they find some newer stuff to put on?
Must look out for some things to record over the next couple of normal weeks before everything gets replaced with the same old ancient repeats that usually fills the second half of December.

If I see a Doris Day film televised I video it for later. They may be a bit sickly but I love her clothes, hairstyles and fun script with the leading men of last century.

Not seen any yet on TV, but yes, home alone films are always funny, however many times I watch them,,, I also like Scrooged, I have that on DVD as well as wonderful life and White Christmas , every December they are watched lol....

I'm still working (ok, only 3 days a week) but even on days off the tv doesn't get turned on until about 7.30 in the evening. I tend to stick to Radio 4 until we go through to the sitting room.

(Only place we have a tv!)

I personally like the Home Alone movie which is my favorite movie ever.

Am I the only person on Gransnet who thinks that the Christmas films currently shown on TV (mainly afternoons) are complete and utter rubbish. Sloppy sentimental stories with sickly happy ever after endings! Its an instant turn-off for me. Oh well back to my tried and trusty friend - the radio.
