Pretty much everyone should be watching Santa's Slay w/ Bill Golberg. Little known fact, he actually met his wife while filming it.

On Christmas Eve I watch Die Hard...
The day I watch this isn't so important, but it is a traditional show in my house... along with Jingle All the Way.

@Mike-Davis That is an actual town? Had no idea.
Never understood why they show It's a Wonderful Life 3 weeks before Christmas.
Awww, 503 error.
BadfordfallsSeneca Falls is real. Based on where the director traveled and how he had the set designed, most agree that Seneca Falls was his inspiration for the style of the town.

Can't do that this year since our oven died.

We are spending a week at my sister's house before Christmas, remember? She has an oven.

Still cuts many weeks out of the cookie schedule.

There are also many holiday themed episodes of South Park, I usually try to give a few of those a watch.

Mine too... such a truly twisted episode. And I love the early one where they all sing traditional holiday tunes.

A little side story for the holidays: When I was 14 my dad gave me $500 that I could spend on anything for Christmas. Anything I wanted to buy or do he would take me to. I decided to get an eletric acoustic guitar as I felt like I needed an outlet for all of my teenage angst. My brother would always follow in my footsteps and ended up getting his own guitar later down the road (he now works for Pulse in the music industry). Well, he took my guitar one day to his friends house and was showing it off. They left the guitar inside and then went to go play with friends. Upon coming back they found the guitar was gone. One of his friends had taken it but the circumstances didn't really point to anyone specific. Needless to say I was really mad. This Christmas my brother bought me the exact same guitar as a way of apologizing

That's a classy move. What kind of guitar was it / is it?

That is pretty cool. Even if it's not the greatest guitar

That's the most metal acoustic you can get. \m/ \m/ And I have fond memories of Dean's armada of topless Vegas showgirls that were walking around at the NAMM show when I was there (maybe 2002-03).

When my first son was born, my dad gave us a hard cover printing of A Visit from St. Nicholas (Twas The Night before Christmas). On Christmas eve when we come back from church we all get into our Christmas jammies (admittedly,yep even Daddy too), lower the lights and do a very slow reading, complete with sound effects (sleigh bells on the door suddenly ring thanks to a piece of dental floss, that kind of thing). This year he's 4 and keeps asking me every night when we're going to read the Saint Nick book!
