There are three movies I traditionally watch every Christmas, and none of them is A Christmas Story:
Mixed Nuts was one of the first dates my wife and I ever went on. It’s also one of the only movies I’ve ever been to where significant numbers of people were actually leaving the theater during the movie. We were laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe. I was so pleased it finally came to DVD.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Save the neck for me, Clark.
Die Hard. Didn’t remember it was Christmastime in this one, did you?
It’s just a coincidence that two of my Christmas movies star Juliette Lewis.
