I'm with you on this, Billy Bob rocked in Bad Santa!

snow miser > heat miser

PB, that's from The Year Without a Santa Claus! A few years back, my friend and I dressed up as Snow Miser and Heat Miser for Halloween.

I think one of those clips of the song uses the version performed by the very awesome Big Bad Voodoo Daddy band. Here it is: VIDEO

SB, thanks for the warning to never watch "The Christmas Tree"! How depressing.

Two tv movies from the 70s that I like and don't see anymore are "The Homecoming," which was the pilot to The Waltons, and "The house Without a Christmas Tree," which took place in the 40s, I think. It starred Jason Robards as a depressed widower, living with his daughter and mother. He's still grieving and won't allow a tree in his house since his wife died, much to the dismay of his young daughter.

The Godfather. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

Yes, the Santa claus in Macy's window; the lights around the front door of the hospital; Kay telling Michael what gifts she bought for everybody; and, of course, the flashback scene in GFII. They're all my favorite reminders of the festive holiday ... despite the murder and mayhem all around. Yes indeed, a Corleone Christmas!
