22nd Dec: jj1564 - what is your favourite Christmas movie or song


My go to Christmas movies are Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Bad Santa, The Christmas Cottage and Muppet Christmas Carol.

I also love The Box of Delights which was a British kids TV miniseries, which was so weird and macabre...shape-shifters, child kidnappings, wolves, weird magicians...just very hauntingly festive. If you can find it, it's definitely worth a look.

As for songs...

Nat King Cole is one of my most favorite singers and this song just so perfect and heartfelt...it's just lovely.

I have to say Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is a favorite too but I find it really so very sad. I love Jensen's version of it of course, Judy Garland's probably more, but yeah...it's a little depressing. Probably why I like it : )

I also love Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacCall, Yule Shoot Your Eye Out by Fall Out Boy, and So Much Wine by The Handsome Family as some more realistic expressions of the festive season : )

I love the Rosemary Clooney version. It's such a melancholy song, haunting and sweet.
