Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's a Wonderful Life. I still burst into tears at "Here's to my big brother George, the richest man in town."

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
"It's a Wonderful Life" is my holiday favorite, hands down. I do "Holiday Inn" and "A Christmas Story" as well. I'd probably do more things regularly, but I don't own them. I'm fond of The Grinch but I don't own it, for instance...

Now tagless for your comfort.
We have three copies of Olive the Other Reindeer. So awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I love "Christmas in Connecticut" and "White Christmas." I'd never really thought of "Meet Me In St. Louis" as a Christmas movie -- it has a Christmas scene, but it takes place over the course of a year, doesn't it? I used to go see The Nutcracker every year, when my friend was still dancing with ABT, but she just retired, so I guess I'll watch it on TV or something.

Right, it has a famous Halloween scene too. But Judy Garland does sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in it.

“Not dead yet!”
And a lot of the emotional climax takes place around the fact that the family will no longer be in St. Louis and that this is their last Christmas in their house.

I said in the Movies thread the other day that I think of Desk Set as a Christmas movie, because it has that awesome Christmas party scene.

I love Desk Set and will watch it at any time of the year.

At my ex-university, every year on the day the students handed in their final papers, we librarians would put on Desk Set and watch it while we waited for all of them to drop off their stuff.
