Up for a new tradition for the holidays? Try creating a list of twelve Christmas movies in twelve days! Including Samantha and Mitch, we each got two movies to add to the list. No one argued what movies were on the list, although we debated whether or not Die Hard was a Christmas movie. It turns out that it is according to a film historian. However, we removed Love, Actually for The Little Drummer Boy because there was a whole lot more sex in the movie than Lisa realized.
It was fun sitting down each night to stick with watching one each night from December 13 to Christmas Eve. Even Grant stuck it out for twelve straight nights! Actually, I saw some movies that I have never watched all of or watched in decades; Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Little Drummer Boy. Unlike today, in the days of streaming services, forty years ago you paid attention to the TV section of your newspaper to see Santa Claus is Coming to Town or you waited another year.
We saved the list so we don't repeat next year. And with so many Christmas movies, it will be decades before we have to start over!
