Im not going to show a clip here because I love the movie, because its simply not right yet to do so. TNT is showing a Christmas Story today as I was flipping through the stations.

They are ruining the whole point of that movie. A Christmas Story is meant to be a 24 hour marathon on Christmas Day movie,  Thats the only day that that movie can be shown. Period, no questions asked.

Now, Elf on the other hand can get all the air play it wants leading up to Christmas. That was on USA tonight. No precedent has been set. Since I have been a little kid, I can remember A Christmas Story getting 24 hr play on TNT or TBS on Christmas Day but you wouldn't see it before then.

There are certain things that are supposed to be left for the actual holiday and that movie is one of them.
