What's your favorite holiday movie?

Well... Long time ago, 10 years actually, when I was living in Russia, I was really into the holiday spirit. You could feel it coming a month beforehand and get into the general cheer. Back then there was a Russian movie called 'S legkim parom' which I won't even try to translate :) The movie was synonymous to the concept of New Year's Eve and the celebrations. They've been playing that movie for like... 20 years I think. Can't remember how many times I've saw it.

I am not a religious person. By blood - I am Jewish, but that's as far as it goes... I celebrated to holiday for the sake of it, for the change of the year. For hope...

It all went to shitter when I came to Israel. We do have a 'New Year' holiday here. In September. With pathetic celebration and total absence of spirit. People go to their families, eat some symbolic meal and go home. When the December comes - no one cares. There is a Silvester holiday but it doesn't resemble in any way the cheer and happiness of the real New Year's Eve.

I know all this sounded bitter. But that's me.
