Do you go to the movies on Christmas day?

well its not tradition,but last time on christmas i went for the movie.Don't know about this year.But surely if i wont be busy with other preparation,i will go to watch one.What about you?

I have never gone to the movies on Christmas day before. I am usually so wrapped up in family stuff it does not even occur to me to go. I don't normally go to movies on opening day in general since it is usually more crowded that day.

I refuse to go out and watch movies in theaters on Christmas Day because I don't like overcrowded places. Here in the Philippines, we have this Metro Manila Film Festival where Filipinos can make a marathon of all the movies presented and it always happens every 25th day of December. So by this time, people will flock the cinemas and they always get overcrowded. I'd better watch these films on DVD at home and bond with family.

Lately I have. I will this year because I've been waiting a long time to see The Spirit, "My City Screams" - based on a famous comic strip from the forties. I'm not much into tradition anymore - it's just another day off.

Yes we do..on christmas day is the showing of beautiful filipino films competing for the metro manila film fest, so we try to support it by watching every fil there. so yes,we do watch movies on christmas day.it's a nice day to bond with the family

I don't go to movies usually on Christmas Day now, but at one time I was very glad they were open on Christmas Day. My husband worked always on Christmas Day for years and wouldn't get home before 10:00 sometimes at night or, with night shift, he was gone by noon and didn't get home before midnight. We lived very far away from family then in a small town with extremely bad weather, so it was hard to get to the airport usually in our rural setting at that time of the year to travel to see family. So we would usually visit friends quickly that morning or they would come over, he would go to work, the friends wanted to go to their homes and it was a close-knit society so they didn't really invite people to their family celebrations. So the movies then were something I loved to go to. Sometimes my husband would get off a little earlier and we would go together because he'd be too tired for a big celebration.

So for people who work on Christmas Day and don't get off until late, and a lot of people do now, or for people who are alone on the holidays the movies are a very good opportunity to get out and about. Of course, during those times years ago when I went everything but the movies was closed on Christmas Day. Now, where we live, a lot of other businesses open in the afternoons. Some even stay open Christmas Day (which is hard on the workers I know, since my husband worked like that for years).

Now we live near my family and a lot of good friends, so now we don't go to movies on Christmas Day. Not usually (although we may go with friends in the evening this Christmas to see the new Brad Pitt movie) Because now my husband is off Christmas Day with a different job, but I'm still glad the movies are open for those who want to go then (but again, I still feel bad for the workers at the movies or those who work in stores who have to work on Christmas Day).

I wouldn't choose to catch a movie on Christmas day, probably because of the crowd that rushes to shopping malls would "scare" me away.:D I don't like to get myself in the middle of a sea of people. Anyway, personally I don't think that's the way I would like to spend my Christmas unless there's a really warm Christmas themed movie showing that year. It's because I prefer to be in quiet places with a few closed friends or even just stay at home at chat with those friends who left home to work or study abroad.

I don't go to the movies on Christmas day. I stay here at home.

I would rather stay in the house w/ my family waiting for my godchildren & relatives than to go to the movie house.

No, I don't think so. Because normally we went to parent's house for Christmas dinner. Of course it is not possible to go to the movie in the same times. Besides, it was long time ago since we could go to the movies. Hardly have any chance nowadays.
