I am the first person to jump on the bashing bandwagon of Hallmark Christmas movies.  In all fairness to me and others like me, it's easy and justified.

MONTHS of Christmas movies with the exact same plot:  big city person leaves for a weekend in a small town, gets stranded due to winter weather over the holidays, falls in love (usually with an old high school flame), eventually kisses in a gazebo, fade to credits.

When I'm right, I'm right.

This does not mean, however, that I am anti-Christmas or Christmas movie.  In fact, I adore both.  AND now, there may be a TV channel for me.

The Sony Movie Channel will be showing nothing but Christmas movies 27/7 through the end of January.

BUT...it's Christmas movies you know and love like "Silver Bells," "Christmas With the Kranks," and themed holiday weekend movies.

Can I vote for a Vince Vaughn double feature of "Fred Claus" and "Four Christmases?"
