Writer's Block: What Kind of Wonderful?

It's not a movie. The Box of Delights, the BBC 6-part series of John Masefield's excellent and influential book - without this I'm sure the stories of Alan Garner nor C.S. Lewis amongst others would have ever seen life.

Movies, not really any Xmas movies I really like, I like the irony of the musical choices and sets in the Die Hard movies...oh and Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, but again, not a movie!

one of my former housemates, his fave Christmas movie is "Die Hard", which while isn't techincally a Christmas movie, per se, *is* set during a company Christmas party. As far as I know, he still watches it every year.

I think it's a Xmas movie - it's full of ironic music from 'Let it Show' to Christmas in Hollis, and all of them are set at Xmas (dunno about 3 or 4).

Much rather watch someone blowing things up at Xmas rather than pretending to love their neighbours/family, but that's my approach to Xmas in a nutshell. I hate the fake shit.
