I'd have to go for:

A Christmas Carol

I'll have A Christmas Carol and Lindt Lindor and join you with the cup of tea, Julie. ;) (Make mine an Earl Grey with no milk, thanks.)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Love Actually is the only one of those films I know I've definitely seen (many times). In fact I was thinking just this morning that it's about time I watched it again.

If the mince pies are gluten and dairy free I'll go for those, although personally I'd rather have some dairy free chocolate, but then if I'm being really pedantic I wouldn't normally eat while watching a film anyway. :wink:

I'd definitely go for the hot chocolate (made with soya milk). Yummy, making me very tempted to forget the housework, pop on Love Actually and dig out the drinking chocolate.

Pete - if my family come home to a find the washing up untouched and no dinner cooked I'll lay the blame with you for putting tempting thoughts my way. :lol:

Love Actually is the only film I've never seen on that list. I think I watched the first few minutes (about as far as when Martine McCutcheon meets Hugh Grant and she swears at him).

I haven't seen Love Actually, Die Hard or The Muppet Christmas Carol. I'm sure I've got the latter on DVD, picked up in a charity shop but never watched, so I'll have to dig it out.

I haven’t seen or want to see any of the films on the list. The only film I like to see at Christmas is Gone With The Wind.
If it is not on television I will watch it on DVD.

That's another 'classic' that I've yet to see. Like most of the films on that list, I've seen bits of it when on TV, but don't think I've ever sat down and watched it all the way through. I really must try and expand my knowledge of films.

However, having just read the 'blub', I think Die Hard is the type of film I would do my best to avoid watching, especially at Christmas - I would probably be kept awake with nightmares, and then Santa wouldn't bring me any presents. :wink:
