Friends and I have done the official Christmas Eve Movie since 1991 when we were all 15/16. This year will be our #20.
We always aim for the 24th of December, the early morning show at 9am at the local multiplex (with the exception of LotR: FotR in 2001, which we did the midnight screening of on opening night a week before Christmas), but in recent times it's been any day since the 20th as people get busier.
We got away from actual Christmas themed films pretty early on, since I got tired of watchng schmaltzy crap. Titles have since included such diverse titles as Avatar, Titanic, Hot Shots, The Nightmare before Christmas, Mrs Doubtfire and a few proper (usually crap) Christmas ones like Deck the Halls, Surviving Christmas and Elf among others.
Most risque was 2008's "How to lose friends and alienate people" which is loaded with swearing and even has a transsexual stripper who flashes cock in it; not my choice, that one, but I fully endorsed it.
This year, we are probably going to do a semi-local production (international production shot here based on a locally written novel) called Spud with John Cleese in it.

Misery loves company. I work in storefront retail. So Christmas is nothing more to me than a day to A) sleep in, and B) catch up on laundry.
