Karen and I where talking about Gremlins the other day - she loves it. So a Xmas watch is on me thinks. Don't know how I've missed it all these years :roll:
 
I remember having a discussion with a friend about whether or not Gremlins is considered a Christmas movie. Odd thing about that movie is it came out in June 84 :lol:

Oh and I highly recommend "A Christmas Story" 1983 staring Peter Billingsley,, it's a really good Christmas movie.

Not seen this one mate, will give it a look, and yes I missed off Gremlins, it always gets a Christmas watch :D

I've never watched Gremlins :oops:

It's back on the cinema for a few days this Christmas!

In the States it was released in June but it didn't reach the UK and most of Europe till December '84. Think it was the same story for Ghostbusters.

According to IMDB anyway! :wink:

Forgotten how big the gap was between US and European release dates back then. Now they're almost simultaneous to combat film piracy (internet) and then you'd have to wait 6 months or a year or whatever for a video release after that! Back when everybody rented videos and would had no thought of shelling out 25/30 quid to buy a new title! :D

So you do not have a tradition and eat the same stuff every christmas ? :shock:

For dinner we eat pork with red cabbage, caramelized potatoes, potatoes, Brown sauce, Red Currant Jelly, Pickled Cucumber Salad and potato chips.

I will take a picture of the plate the 24th :D

Turkey dinner is Xmas day for most in the UK

Some I imagine will do something nice for Xmas Eve too

Box with money and gifts opened up for workers etc and for the poor in the old days

Tradition is still kept Live, with tips for the milkman, window cleaner etc
