Christmas Movie Season!!!

Christmas may have already passed but the holiday season is still in full swing for most of us. That likely means either not going to work, going to work and not doing much of anything, or being at work and doing so much you're pissed and can't wait to get off and enjoy some free time, lol.

Hopefully everyone reading this had a great Christmas and was nice enough for the last year that Santa brought you everything you wanted. And although Christmas is gone for another 364 days, I wanted to pass along some of my favorite movies to watch during the Christmas/Holiday season. Not all are Christmas-themed but they're great to watch during this time of year!!!

Friday After Next

This is one of my favorite movies because of Mike Epps and Katt Williams. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's not kid-friendly though, lol.

Christmas Story

I'm going to assume that this is one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time since there is a 48 hour marathon of this film on TBS each and every Christmas. If you haven't seen this already, you probably don't celebrate Christmas or have been living under a rock.

Home Alone

This is another film that I will assume that anyone born after 1960 and before the year 2000 has seen, lol. This is probably number 2 on my list of favorite Christmas movies. Ralphie's first, of course. Home Alone is also where I first heard "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, which is in my top ten favorite Christmas songs.

Bad Santa

This movie is so reckless and raunchy that it's hilarious that the theme is Christmas-based. This is most definitely NOT kid-friendly but this is a hilarious movie.

Trading Places

This movie isn't so much Christmas-themed as it is a movie where the Christmas holiday occurs, lol. Yet-and-still, it's one of the movies I think of first when Christmas time comes around. Eddie Murphy is hilarious as Billy Ray Valentine, much like he is as Hakeem in the next flick...

Coming to America

This is my favorite movie of all time, I have to admit that up front, lol. This is another movie where it's not Christmas-themed, it's just a great movie to watch at any time.

All I Want For Christmas is...

The Blackberry Storm



I haven't gotten it yet but I'll have it in my possession by February of next year. Per LC's advice - and the fact that I am about to drop a grip on my vacation in a couple weeks - I am waiting on all the problems with the first issue to be discovered and then I'll buy the updated version (or just buy it and get the software update, LOL).

iPod Classic



This is a necessity for any music fiend such as myself. I've already got like 80Gbs of music. Wait until I start getting video files.

1 Terabyte NAS



Yes, terabyte. Why go for the 100Gb, 500Gb, or 750Gb external hard drive when you can go for the 1 terabyte network attached drive that you can access from anywhere, anytime? Ah, the joys of technology.

Rocawear 9IX cologne



I rubbed the magazine sample all over myself and fell in love (have fun with that one). I refuse to wear Diddy or Usher's colognes just off general principle. But I do recognize that women seem to enjoy the Diddy cologne. Dahwell!

Chanel Allure cologne



My favorite cologne of all the times.

Burberry Touch cologne



Touch, along with Jean Paul and Issey Miyake are the staples of any guy's cologne collection (well at least most guys I know). It never lets me down so I never stop buying it.

Ermenegildo Zegna cologne



One of my secret colognes. Fellas, consider this a give-away.

Mosaic Kit



If you've been by my place lately, you know I have a collection of 40+ bottles in my basement that are going to be smashed (literally) and turned into a couple of "artsy" mosaics for hanging around my house. Fellas, consider this an artistic give-away.

Edge Trimmer



Plain-and-simple, I have a very small front yard so I use an edge trimmer to cut my grass and not a bad-azz kid from my neighborhood lawn mower. But, I broke the last one I had the last time I cut my grass so I need a replacement.

Intake manifold gaskets for my car



This is the most important thing I need at the moment. My d@mn car is on the outs and I need these gaskets in order to get it fixed. As most of you probably know, the problem with car fixes oftentimes is not the price of the parts but the cost of the labor. Well, picture this...

Intake manifold gaskets (upper and lower) - Roughly $20 each

Cost to take apart the engine, replace the old gaskets, and put the engine back together - ASTRO-FOCKING-NOMICAL!

Price of knowing better than to buy an American car - PRICELESS!

Christian Dior Black Tie Sunglasses



My man Laf keeps trying to get me to step up my sunglasses game but I just haven't done it. This would be a step in the right direction.

Gucci 1561 Sunglasses



Step 2. LOL.

I'm sure it's a shock to many of you (shot out to Laf) that there are no shoes on the list.

Santa, this is it!!! And for the record, I've been naughty AND nice.
