I have a few quick questions in making my list.
Can any movie be included during the holiday time frame (thanksgiving-new year's), but having nothing to do with the season?
Can Animated shorts be included? Ex.-I have holiday episodes of Beavis and Butthead on dvd, does that count?
Is there a limit of episodes from the same show? So far I have eight different South Park Episodes, and eight Simpsons episodes.

Yes, any holiday that happens during the end of the year around that time. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanza, Hanuakah (forgive my spelling), New Years, etc.

If you have 10 Christmas episodes from the same series that is fine. You CANNOT watch the same episode a bunch of times though.
However, there is a rule I left out that I'll add to the first post, a majority of the movie has to take place during the holiday season. You can't watch a movie or TV show that has one 2 minute scene during the holiday then the rest of the film takes place during the summer or something.

Cast Away-the beginning starts during Christmas
Jerry Maguire-during the final half of the film
Ghostbusters 2-The movie takes place from fall to new years

Ooo, as long as we're asking:
Hannah and Her Sisters: There are three scenes that take place at three consecutive Thanksgivings: one at the beginning, one somewhere in the middle, and one at the end. I doubt those scenes constitute the majority of the film, as far as running time, but they're certainly an important part of it.
Addams Family Values: When Wednesday and Pugsley are at summer camp, there are a few scenes where they're in a play about the first Thanksgiving.
I'll probably be watching them both anyway, whether or not they count.

No problem, like I said, I'll be watching them anyway, now I'll know not to count them. (I knew Addams Family Values was iffy, especially) I don't have a lot of movies that will qualify, but fortunately, plenty of TV eps that will.

I'm in... but I have a question. Is this a Christmas contest or does it include American Thanksgiving as well?
