Can you believe it’s the 20th anniversary of “Elf” and the 35th anniversary of “Die Hard”?? This week, we’re talking about those Christmas movies (the official homework), plus not just a few others. You know, viewer’s choice!

We all know and 100% agree that “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. Duh. But we learned this year that it is also a Hanukkah movie! You can read an article on that here.

Two short gems that we watched this year are a couple of super-short pre-“South Park” bits made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone called “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs Frosty” and “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs Santa.” Oh, my lord, amazing!! You can watch them here:
