Newsletter 18th of December: Mediavision’s Ultimate Christmas Watchlist
NYHETSBREV
18 December 2019
Hold on! There is only a few days left at the office before the holiday vacation,
soon this entire decade has arrived at its final destination
Hopefully you all finish off with a spectacular Christmas party,
maybe you find inspiration in The Office´s celebrations being so extraordinarily hearty
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation should be enjoyed,
in order to prepare and prevent anybody from being annoyed
As the holiday proceeds there’s bound to be some mishaps,
perhaps, someone will consume one to many schnapps?
Hopefully you only encounter Bad Santa on the screen,
laughing and resting after a massive intake of Christmas cuisine
While the grownups take care of the last dishes,
the kids watch Home Alone and regret adding their own house key to their wishes
When the celebrations are over and we still haven´t seen any snow,
His Dark Materials provide the proper winter feel and animated creatures with remarkable glow
For those who hear the word “fantasy” and feel a bit sceptic,
the freezing cold and crimes in Fargo instead do the trick
A heated debate must be settled before the holiday has come to an end,
hereby us at Mediavision our vote will send:
“A Christmas movie” should be the description of Die Hard,
Yes, we know, placing it in the same category as our new favourite Klaus´s is somewhat of a wildcard
