The was another movie like Joyuex Noel that came out about ten years ago called Winter Pass or Passing or something like that...I've looked around for it before it but can't find it...It was WWI and they crossed the trench lines and drank and sang with the Germans for an hour after midnight...very, very moving.

The Family Man was a "It's A Wonderful Life" plot at Christmas time, though to be fair the what if part of the story goes off on a tangent so far that one might forget where it starts and ends.

since there's no thread for christmas radio, had to post this here..... :)


Frederick Forsyth's "The Shepherd", read by the late Alan Maitland.

Around Christmas time every year, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) Radio’s daily news-feature program “As It Happens” includes a re-broadcast of Frederick Forsyth’s classic novella “The Shepherd”, as read by the late Alan Maitland.

More than a mere nod to the sheer magic of radio, you should really try to catch this one not just this year, but every year. ;)

:Hail: :Hail: :Hail: THANKS! One of my passions is WWI. And anything to do with the Christmas of 1914 has my undivided attention.

I gotta see that.

The very best Christmas movie of all time for me will always be A Christmas Story.

Maybe it was hearing Frosty the Snowman a few hundred times too many growing up ("Oh yeah?! What are the rest of the lines?! Huh? Huh?!!), but by and large the Christmas movies don't do it for me. I make it a point to see Scrooged every year, I might stop to watch a few minutes of It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story, and Bad Santa was damned funny. But other than that... meh.

And what's with Jack Frost? I'm not sure which version is worse. The Keebler Elf or Martin Short.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

A Christmas Story is, indeed, as good as it gets!


And let's not forget Debbie Does the North Pole. (Hey! That's not bad! I just made that up this very second!!!)
