Today I finally watched my DVD of Arthur Christmas that I got months ago. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an offbeat Christmas movie-- it's heartwarming, family-friendly, and constructed entirely from military metaphors.

My favorite weird Christmas movie of all time would have to be Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Every year when the news starts talking about the NORAD Santa tracker, I start thinking of the line from Rare Exports about how Santa can be in many places at once. If you're not familiar with this one, do not go and watch the related shorts on YouTube first, because they'll spoil the punchline for you.

The SO belongs to the school of thought that Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie. On a similar note, the SO's Christmas tradition is to watch The Crossing, which is about the Continental Army sneaking across the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776.
