Sure, Why Not?

Also I just realized that National Lampoon's Dorm Daze takes place during Christmas so there's another thing to watch.

Do the Xmas specials on the Food network count since they are an hour long? I havent been adding them because I wasnt sure but I thought I would ask since Ive been watching them.

Sparrow · 12-04-05, 07:47 PM

I'm in - I have been so busy each holiday season that I barely have had a chance to watch any of the many 'holiday' movies that I've collected for me and the family.

12/1 - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
12/2 - Elf
12/3 - Pee Wee's Christmas Special

I've never seen these. Are they a complete separate special or a special of an all ready existing special? If it's a separate special then fine, but if it's a special from an existing series than no, unless it's longer than usual

UncleGramps · 12-06-05, 04:59 PM

I doubt I'll hit 50, but it'll be fun to keep track of what I do end up watching:

12/4 : Gremlins
12/5 : Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (MST3K version)
12/7 : Scrooged
12/8 : Die Hard
