Another one that never gets old (in the Diehard/Ref category of not really Christmas movies but moreso just movies set during the holidays) is Trading Places.

Shit, I forgot to put that on my list. I actually started to edit my post to add it, but my wife started giving me the "it's sexy time" look, so I never got around to it.

My absolute favorite is Its A Wonderful Life. Frank Capra movies are great. I watch that one every Christmas Eve. As others have mentioned. Scrooged. Christmas Vacation and Trading Places. We watched  Scrooged last week. Best line: "the b itch hit me with a toaster". 

A Christmas Story is/was good but entirely overplayed.

On Christmas Eve, we always pick a Christmas movie and most of the time they are so bad somebody falls asleep.    This year, my mother-in-law said she was picking the movie..  Should be interesting!

One of my favorite Christmas time movies is "Pocket Full Of Miracles" with Betty Davis and Glen Ford. Not so much a Christmas movie, but it did get a lot of play during the holiday season.

Probably my two favorite non-christmas Christmas movies are WIzard of Oz and Sound of Music.  They Always play during Christmas time.  I used to be able to play the entire Sound off Music soundtrack on the piano.

Scrooge is great, Die-Hard Rocks, even Die-Hard 2 was a good Christmas movie, but my favorite Christmas Movie is a Christmas Carol, I like all the versions, with Alastair Sim, Albert Finney, George C Scott and even Patrick Stewart.

My favorite is "Scrooge" starring Albert Finney.  I am also fond of the Patrick Stewart version. I watched the 1935 original on Hulu the other night and enjoyed it as well. 

Least favorite is Jingle all the Way. I also dislike all Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movie attempts. I am also not fond of It's a Wonderful Life.

This is the movie I fell in love with Jamie Curtis. Who can blame me!

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
