[366 Weird Movies] A FEW ODD YULETIDE FAVS - 366 Weird Movies: A bigoted, misogynist, unlikeable, bitchy Santa, an equally unlikeable reindeer coach (with a baseball cap, no less), Rudolph’s jerk of a father, an abominable snow monster, a winged lion, straight out of apocalyptic literature, who oversees an island of dysfunctional toys, including a polka-dotted elephant, a Charlie-in-the-box, and a cowboy who rides an ostrich.  On top of that is Burl Ives as a talking snowman, a too-cute girlfriend reindeer for our hero (with a bow atop her head), an elf who wants to be a dentist and a prospector by the name of Yukon Cornelius, who steals the  entire show.  Yukon “Even among misfits I’m a misfit”  Cornelius has rightly become a cult figure all by himself.  Oh, and then there’s Rudolph himself, who is understandably a bit bland in comparison but is the necessary catalyst for such a brew.

[Left, Right, and Centered] Christmas Lore From Mark Steyn « Left, Right, and Centered: We celebrate his most famous Yuletide hit here, and you can hear a unique bilingual version from my friends Monique Fauteux, one of the great treasures of Quebec music, and Dorothée Berryman, star of the Oscar-winning film Barbarian Invasions/Les Invasions Barbares, with a little help from yours truly, as the finale to this year’s Mark Steyn Christmas Show. If Johnny Marks had written nothing but “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer”, he would have gone down in his-to-ree.

[The Costume Blog by Star Costumes] 32 Bizarre and Fascinating Facts about Christmas: In some parts of Russia, children look forward to the grandmother figure Babouschka bringing their presents.

[Mark Kermode's film blog] BBC - Mark Kermode's film blog: The Best Christmas Movie Ever: I also saw Treevenge recently, at the Horrorfest in Cape Town - South Africa (Africa?)'s only movie festival dedicated to horror movies, a mere week ago, as part of a compilation, and Treevenge was definitely the highlight of 2 hours of short films. (The scene with the baby in particular was a hit among the ones of us who went.) Oddly enough, I would never have thought of The Shining as a Christmas movie, but now I'll absolutely have to watch it this year, possibly in a double feature with Die Hard.

[mental_floss Blog] mental_floss Blog » The Quick 10: Stories Behind 10 Famous ...: Frosty the Snowman was pretty much written to capitalize on the success of Gene Autry’s Rudolph rendition (it was released just one season later).
