h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thought we should contribute.

Movie:
Mary Poppins or Die Hard. Depending on what mood we're in.

Song:
'Christmas Wrapping' - The Waitresses
'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' - Wizzard

TV:
Doctor Who all the way. Closely followed by the festive editions of Porridge or The Good Life

Book:
Can't beat Dickens' Christmas Carol. Or, sticking with the scary theme, The Turn of the Screw.

Movie:
I really like The Year Without a Santa Claus. Although I'm probably just biased towards it because of my love for Snow Miser's song.

Song:
Snow Miser, as stated previously, and Christmas in Heaven by Monty Python are particular favourites.

Oh, and you can't forget Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Truly a wonderful piece of symphonic metal.

Television:
I find I don't watch enough television to answer this one. I believe Fullmetal Alchemist had an episode set in Christmas, so perhaps that?

Book:
A Christmas Carol is really the only book about Christmas I've read. Although that by no means takes away from how amazing it is.

Movie:
Anything by Disney.

Song:
'One Little Christmas Tree' by Stevie Wonder. 'Do They Know It's Christmas' by Band Aid and 'Lonely This Christmas' by Mud get me going I have a CD of carols, angels and prayers by Mario Lanza which I play in the car, can't be beaten.

TV:
Noel's Christmas Presents Doctor Who EastEnders cliffhangers I also like the "reviews of the year" on BBC News 24, with a half-hour slot dedicated to sporting highlights, politics, who we've lost that year, etc. Any award shows for bravery and unsung heroes like carers.

Book:
The bumper TV mag of course. Who has time to read at Christmas? But if you push me, anything about astronomy last year I got a History of Astronomy and the year before that, an Atlas of the Universe This year my daughter #1 has got me a 6-month subscription to "Astronomy Now" magazine. Awesome!
