Christmas repeats on television

Personally I’m not a fan of Christmas repeats on television; I always feel that the Christmas repeats on television are a bit of a waste of time, everyone has the programmes many times before. For example how many times have you seen home alone, I could have sworn I have seen that film over 50 times, and I have never ever saw that film apart from over the festive season. I know it’s easy to be cruel because many of the kids today haven’t seen some of the films, but seriously Christmas repeats on television are not cool. If Christmas repeats on television were cool then I wouldn’t have taken the time to write this blog and tell people about this. I would say that the only plus about Christmas repeats on television is that you get to see some of the more rare films that you never get to see. Or you get to see the films that you watched when you were younger, except this time you watch it with children a lot younger than yourself. Of course there are many other pluses as well such as seeing those films that you always want to sit down and see but never end up buying them or renting them from a shop. The Christmas repeats on television can have good sides as we have already seen.

If watch the Christmas repeats on television and find a film that you haven’t seen or at least haven’t heard of then please do tell me, this way I will able to know there actually are films that people don’t know, ones that are new to people. I don’t think this is humanly possible for Christmas repeats on television to do this, its probably not in the BBCs nature, however should this be the case please do drop me a comment.

Overall television over Christmas is good, the Christmas repeats on television are probably another one of those small components that makes Christmas that extra bit more christmasy and without it, it probably wouldn’t be the same. So next time you see Christmas repeats on television, think about the times when you first watched this as a kid. Once you have done that, then look at the other children in the room and see their faces and eyes glow to their first viewing of home alone. Enjoy life because we’re all young at some point.
