Awful Christmas Films
Discussion
You should see Nativity 3! 
Nativity 2 is genuinely a masterpiece in comparison. They are kids films though.
I thought this was going to be about those American Hallmark Xmas films that are on Channel 5 all day and on other specifically Christmas film channels. There seems to be thousands of them!

My OH puts these cheap Xmas TV movies on in the afternoon.
The plots are almost identical.
Cute (without being dazzling) single woman who has somehow not fulfilled her potential, in American small town festooned with surprising number of Christmas lights is trying to save local toy shop/library/bookshop from closure. Meets wholesomely attractive single businessman who works too hard and doesn't like Christmas.
Her quirky charm wins him round to helping her with her endeavour. He in turn somehow releases her unfulfilled potential. They get together by the end of the film, by which I mean they kiss in a way that wouldn't upset the Hays Code.
Cute children and wise old women as supporting cast abound.

I generally hate 'Christmas movies' so this year I'll play it safe and watch Threads. With some Special Brew. On my own
Threads is a great film but even by my standards is a bit 'dark' for Christmas time. Good shout on the special brew though 
Bingle Jollocks!
Santa Clause v The Devil

It's all f
ked up, but the singing kids scene, which goes on forever from 3mins is bizarre and the rest of the film is equally unhinged...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYStOBykqZk

You forgot the twist that the hard working businessman is the one who’s been sent to the town to close down the toy shop/library/bookshop.The plots are almost identical.
