Christmas Films, bah humbug!

If I see another Christmas film on TV it'll crack my egg altogether!, for Gods sake it's only the 15th of December and they are on everywhere you look, another two weeks of this is too terrible to contemplate, it's over to Utube for me so I can pick out my own old films.

I love Christmas films we record them and watch them nearer the day though. And White Christmas DVD comes out every year here my husband has watched it every year since he was 5 it's quite the tradition.

Re: Christmas Films, bah humbug!

I have freesat that comes with about 5 or 6 film channels and two of them, for the past 5 weeks or so, have aired nothing, literally nothing, but Christmas films!

For me, to bombard the Christmas stuff too early takes the shine out of Christmas because by the time it actually comes around, it feels like old hat and I've become 'immune' to it all.

Exactly BV, but I become more drained rather than immune, wish I could get some kind of injection to immunise me from Christmas films and cooking programs.

I know

I love films and was a bit disheartened when I saw all that being aired. I refuse to join in Christmas acknowledgement until about the second week in December - then I go like a bull at a gate about it

Have a slug or two of something to dull the senses Jem

I don't often swear but I have been known to utter the odd 'bad' word when yet another day of Christmas films popped up and I'd mutter 'oh shut the up with these films'

Don't get me started on cooking programmes
