@CookieGirl1  I think that being your quote indicates you are an optimist.  Not sure what it means that we like to say, "You're an angry elf." lol  We do say it jokingly.

December 6: If you could plan an ideal holiday feast, what would be on your menu?  

 

Our family is usually a turkey-and-ham kind of holiday dinner family, but just once I'd love to do a big Beef Wellington dinner with all the trimmings. 

 

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip?

 

Always watch- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Scrooged, Christmas with the Kranks, the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf, The Family Man, A Charlie Brown Christmas

 

Skip- Die Hard

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@quspork I've been watching Mickey's Christmas Carol since almost the beginning!  I had it on VHS, and watched it often as a child.  I kinda felt like it was my own special gem, and was surprised to find it on DVD years ago.  I'm happy that others can enjoy it now, though.  My DVD has some other shorts, and the one with Pluto's Christmas tree and Chip and Dale is cute.  I recommend it.  Do you have any other favorite long-lost movies?  Does anyone remember Child of Glass?

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Right there with you, @greeneyedgirl107- we had it on VHS when we were kids, but then when I moved out on my YEARS ago, I couldn't find it anywhere. Eventually found the DVD when it was re-released at some point and it must be the same version you have because it has the other cartoons as well. Another one that took me forever to find (although now it's streaming on HULU) is Santa Clause: The Movie (not to be confused with The Santa Clause) with Dudley Moore and John Lithgow -- it was a classic 80s movie, Christmas-style! 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@quspork Yes, I do remember "Santa Claus: The Movie!"  I described it to my friend years ago, and she told me that title which I had totally forgotten.  IDK if I would like it as an adult, though, as I'm not a Dudley Moore or John Lithgow fan.  

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip?  Watch the Guardians Holiday Special and loved it! Right now we are getting caught up on Purge Season 2 and Jessica Jones Season 2, waiting for new stuff coming out next year. And we binge watched Wednesday. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip? I donโ€™t have any at the moment. I am waiting for 2 shows to release their new season. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 7: What movies and TV are on your watch list?  And which ones do you skip?  A Christmas Story and A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Pretty much everything else.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06 excellent choice on the Charlie Brown Christmas ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 6: If you could plan an ideal holiday feast, what would be on your menu?  Sushi, hot pot, and dim sum.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@SportyGirly125 Can I eat at your place this holiday?? Yes yes yes to hot pot!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@SportyGirly125 My kind of Christmas meal. When we celebrate anything with my family, it's usually Korean BBQ and hotpot. More traditional foods when celebrating with the in-laws. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!
