What Christmas DVD will you be watching on Christmas Eve?

[AVoidkaTheKillerZombies]

Last year we watched Santa Buddies which DD loved but DS thought was 'rubbish'.

What are other people watching this year?

Avoidka Dudley Moore one is Santa Claus the Movie. I made the mistake of buying it for £3 from Tesco and letting DS (2.10) watch it. Now it's on every day at least twice. I really didn't think he'd be that fussed for it. But no. He now wants to be a 'gnome' and help Santa in his workshop [hgrin].

The other one we watched recently was Home Alone. Every night before he goes to sleep he asks us whether we will forget him like Kevin's mummy did. Jeez. Another mistake, and it's not even December yet!

National Lampoon's is the best Christmas film. I want their advent calendar.

For young children, we would always sit and watch The Snowman.

I quite like Bad Santa too, but that's definitely not one for the kids.

We always watch The Snowman - usually me and the kids on the sofa in the afternoon while DH goes out and gets last minute bits and pieces at the shops.

I watch whatevers on telly in the evening. My favourite thing to watch is Carols from Kings. Will finally get 'round to watching Its A Wonderful Life this year, too, I think!

I have never seen Its a Wonderful Life. is it good?

I am entertaining this Christmas eve but will probably have The Snowman on standby so the littlies can watch it while us adults drink baileys sing carols.

Always, always The Snowman.

It's a wonderful life is great. Black and white but makes you feel all loved inside

Will do ! I was contemplating ebaying and just seeing if I can get any bells, and waiting till they arrive to see if they have a tinkle ?!

Or, I did wonder if you could perhaps buy a bell and ADD a tinkle ?

You all watch DVDs on Christmas Eve? I don't know how you have time in the skivvying season. How come you are not rushing around cleaning/wrapping/cooking/preparing? What is your secret?

Anyway. In my fantasy Xmas Eve (which won't ever happen) I think I might like to watch Elf. Which is surprisingly funny. I have never watched National Lampoons and I fancy that too. Or maybe ET which DS (7) has never seen.

I will be at work.

The day the tree goes up is always National Lampoons though.

The nightmare before Christmas of course and then Scrooged in bed! Just bought Muppets Christmas Carol for £3 as well so will have that on at some point as well as The Snowman and Father Christmas - flippin love Christmas movies over here!

I've put Its a wonderful life on to download my wishlist.

ET, too.

Probably the Hogfather! Love it.

elf and the miracle on 34th street, the one from the 90s with the matilda girl in it then once the kids are in bed bad santa [hgrin]

I also love Miracle on 34th Street.

I would love a house like in the film to be my present one year !

We always sit and watch the snowman when bathed and in new pjs. Christmas eve morning is spent at a show at the theatre... But dc get a new christmas movie at the beginning of every december which they watch repeatedly through the christmas season. This is the year of Home Alone! I cant wait to give it to them!!

I've just ordered 'it's a wonderful life' I must be the only person who hasn't seen it.

I'm looking forward to it

I've just spotted the 'on Christmas eve bit of the question' I possibly listed too many, especially as I will be working!!

i'll try to get a copy of the snowman. we'll be at in laws on xmas eve so quite late home. If i remember rightly, its short enough to help the DC wind down before bedtime

We have The Grinch, Muppets Christmas Carol, A Nightmare before Christmas and The Snowman to get through

Our favourites are National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Home Alone and Elf. National Lampoon is the all time fav for me! I love it!
But Christmas Eve we ALWAYS watch Muppet Christmas Carol before church on Christmas Eve.

Father Christmas with the DDs, then DP and I watch Love Actually after they are in bed while we eat Santa's mince pies. Tis traditional!

Oooh I saw a clip of the Dudley Moore Santa film.

Is John Lithgow in it?? It's an old film by the looks of it.
If it is John L this will be on my YY list.

And we've got Box of Delights somewhere but I've never seen it. Will have to watch it first.

Yes - he plays the 'baddie' BZ. He must have had a sore throat after it as he shouts all the way through.

Santa Claus the Movie is class. If you haven't watched it, it's a Christmas must. Although don't show it to susceptible 2.10yr olds who insist on watching it every day afterwards...
