Holiday Megathread

16 comments

1. ‘Last Holiday’ starring Queen Latifah and ‘The Holiday’ starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet both came out in 2006. Both are easy watching comedies, but for my mind The Holiday is the superior film, despite a much weaker supporting cast.

2. So what are yall doing for Memorial Day next year?

3. Leaving for the parents’ house tomorrow. Last time we were able to get there with only two stops, going to try and see if we can do that again.

4. Anyone else doing last minute gifts? Cuz I sure am and I am not happy about it

5. Gonna watch die hard for the first time lol

6. Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

7. The following are the only good Christmas songs. Fight me.

   Christmas Wrapping – The Waitresses

   Father Christmas – The Kinks

   Christmas at Ground Zero – Weird Al

   The Night Santa Went Crazy – Weird Al

   Christmas in Hollis – Run DMC

   Santa’s Beard – TMBG

   Also, Paul McCartney should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity for writing Wonderful Christmastime.

   By popular request, adding…

   Fairytale Of New York – The Pogues

8. I have a legitimate secret Santa. I received a random amazon package and no one knows who sent it. I’m waiting till Christmas to open it, but I’m suspecting that it was a pricey jacket that I had on my Amazon wish list.

9. Anyone else ready for mass twice this weekend? You have your regular Sunday mass and also Christmas mass.

10. Kohl’s has a Christmas playlist of the very worst versions of Christmas songs ever recorded. I really liked I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas until I heard the Kohl’s version. Not it’s just completely ruined for me

11. I would like to introduce you all to [The Blenders](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b85PsA4HuJI&pp=ygUWdGhlIGJsZW5kZXJzIGNocmlzdG1hcw%3D%3D).

12. Gotta watch some Bad Santa, after the kid goes to bed. It’s the perfect holiday movie!

13. Definitive *Christmas Carol* adaptations rankings:

    * Muppets
    * Scrooged
    * George C. Scott
    * Alistair Sim

    Everything else is not worth the time.

14. I’m smoking a brisket on Christmas.

    Just me, the wife, and the boy. No grand parents, no aunt or uncles. Just us. I’m really looking forward to it.

    It’s gonna be mild too, we may have a bonfire with the neighbors

15. I’m considering taking the train to Tokyo and screwing around all day in Shibuya and Akihabara.

16. Cinco de Mayo should be a federal holiday. What’s more American than tacos, beer, and spicy margs?
