Those who know me will know that this is a rather awkward request. Those who know me even better will be reminded of when my sister was told off in standard grade French for not co-operating. See, we don't do Christmas, and as such it isn't a time of year which induces fuzzy, nostalgic feelings; at best it's a very cold holiday when I couldn't even take the scooter out for ice on the roads. I'll give it a shot though.
I do spend the holidays gorging on films, mainly because there's nothing to do, and there are a great manyi can think of which I did watch last Christmas, but then they don't really fulfil the brief because they don't remind me of it, it's just a coincidence. I'll have to go with The Great Escape, because it was on every Boxing Day, and I watched it a fair few times. It's a very enjoyable film, full of famous moments and iconic images. If nothing else, it taught me to be wary of Germans wishing me good luck, and that nothing is cooler than Steve McQueen on a motorbike, not even me on a motorbike in sub zero temperatures.

You on a scooter on the ice, would rather see that than Mr McQueen any day.
I'll see if I can get a picture over the holidays! It's jot all thr much fun, it generally involves my legs losing circulation...
I just got a mental image of a German wishing you good luck for whatever reason and you scooting away screaming "Stranger Danger!!"...hehe.
That's a fantastic mental image!
