Baby, It’s Cold Outside – So Stay in With a Holiday Flick

Can’t stand another pop-up ad for last minute online shopping? Need a little time away from the hussle and bussle of shoppers rushing home with their treasures?  Click off the computer, grab your cozy throw, and recharge on the couch with one of Tango’s favorite holiday flicks.
 
Scrooged: It’s Bill Murray at his best, as cantankerous TV exec Frank Cross interacting with Christmas ghosts (past, present and future, of course) of the fairy and cab-driving variety, and Bobcat Goldthwait as an employee so disgruntled, he makes Bob Cratchit look like a sugarplum fairy.

Love Actually: An apt title for a tear-jerking romantic comedy filled with tales of keeping up appearances and how ultimately, love forces us to come clean. The all-star cast offers plenty of eye candy (Keira Knightly? Colin Firth?) and the airport reunion scene may cause you to levitate with feel-good warmth.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: Classic Griswold disaster-inducing antics weave a warm holiday tale of electrocuted cats, desiccated turkey, countless Cousin Eddie (played by Randy Quaid) quips and an all’s-well-that-ends-well family, SWAT team and kidnapping victim dance party.
