It's now officially Christmas time. How do I know this? Is it because Christmas decorations are now up in stores? No, because they've been up since before friggin' Halloween. Is it because everyone is now displaying that Holiday Cheer? Nope. They're being as big of a buncha jerks as ever. Is it because the calendar says it's December 1st? Nuh-uh. ................. Okay, I don't have a smartass response to that one. It's quite simple. Last night TNT did it's first of an ungodly number of broadcasts of the classic A Christmas Story.

I've been a big fan of this movie since I first saw it back around '84 or so. I don't let the overabundance of airings that it's enjoyed over the past decade get to me; but I began to realize that it knocked out the movie which had dominated our TV sets for decades as the #1 Holiday movie, It's a Wonderful Life. I've also noticed an attempt to replace the old staples with the newer breed of Christmas specials. This lead me to the conclusion that Rob's Damn Boards posters need to set the record straight once and for all. We're going to name the TOP FIVE Christmas movies and specials that should be required viewing. Nominations are open from now until Saturday, Dec. 10th, followed by a week of an open voting poll. The winners will be announced on the 18th to give everyone a chance to view those films or programs, as well as keep me from having to worry about this stuff while I'm on my break.

So go forth and nominate the best damn Christmas movies and shows ever.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
