    Does your HT get less use this time of year ?

    I find that from mid December up to New Years, things get so hectic that I find myself using the HT maybe only once or twice a week, and less than that during the Christmas Eve to New Years eve period. How about you ?

    Possibly MORE use for the HT this time of year -- after all, we wouldn't want want to listen to those inspirational Xmas albums just in the car (Such as "Alvin and the Chimpunks Sing Traditional Christmas Songs"). :>) There are a lot of new discs coming out this time of year and since my computer is in the HT room, anyway, music is on "all the time", except when I 'm doing serious work like writing this note, :>) in addition to sharing holiday movies with friends and family. Besides, its COLD outside. :>)

        How about 32 F ? At 50 F I'll take Texas.

          It's stinkin' 75 F here. How Christmasy. I know it probably sounds good to you snowbound types, but I hate it.

          My HT is going to get a lot of use as when the family comes over we will watch movies. OK probably not on Xmas eve, but all the other days.

            Actually, more when I am not so busy I can't sit down. Weather sucks, cold, rain, what else you gonna do besides work? LOL.

            So, shopping aside, a few last orders to stuff in stockings someplace (you know, the Santa Catman thing), you will find me in my HT! :-)

                Same here! In the summer I am working til dark most days and have so much going on that I find myself not getting much TV time.

                The holidays, while yeah we do a little shopping, Christmas dinners and gatherings, etc., we still have plenty of time to watch TV. Mainly because I hate cold weather and am very fragile to less than 60 degree weather.

                I wouldn't mind having a colder week every 3 months or so just to give us a break during the year, but overall, I like it hot! :hb

                  Cinemeek gets more use this time of year. Like Burke 'n Clive, when friends/family come in, people always migrate to the kitchen, the den and the theater room, so something is almost always showing.

                        Thanks George. It's the best I've been able to come up with so far.

                        I've been watching a lot the last week or so. With all the goings on at work it's a great way to unwind.

                          I'm not watching as many movies lately but it has to do with several reason. Lack of time, family with a baby staying at the house are probably the main causes. But I enjoy it when I can.

                          Happy Holidays.

                            I must admit, I have a weakness for Jazz Christmas music, and I definitely have a weakness for Diana Krall. So when my Lovely wife presented me with this CD, to say I was excited was an understatement :B

                            To begin with I absolutely love the cover art which shows Diana...

                            Had a few friends over for Christmas last night. CamBot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow… and (in this case) Mike. I love this program, spent many a “relaxing” few hours watching MST3k back in the day. Love it or hate it, I love it. I got MST3k Volume one on DVD for Christmas.

                            I'm not a happy camper Santa.

                            Christmas eve and Massive Attack is playing at about 70-75 db in the other room. I notice I slight burny smell as I pass the stereo on the way down the hall, then buzz fart and a channel drops out.

                            Well, it's a bit after 9 AM, I've rebooted and rescanned the USB library on my AURALiC Aries streamer (added more "Christmas" albums, of course), and we've probably got enough music queued up to last till evening. Certainly will get us through the rest of preparing Christmas dinner and dinner...

                            I realized today that I should have started this a couple weeks ago, but maybe it's something we can pull out of the archives every year. I realized that we don't have a thread dedicated to Christmas movies. What does everybody has as favorites? Here's mine, that I enjoy year after year:
