    Good effort, but wrong. The attempted assassination of Don Corleone and the hospital scenes in the Godfather take place during the Christmas season. That makes it #1.

    It’s possible that Christmas came and went for the Torrance’s in The Shining, which is better than FMJ, but there were not any Christmas references.

    Eyes Wide Shut is set at Christmas, but it’s not quite as good as FMJ.

    Eyes Wide Shut is the greatest Kubrick Xmas movie and thus the greatest xmas film of all time.

    weren't they having a 'key party' in the Ice storm. I'm guessing it was during the holidays.

    I grew up Jewish, so I am not familiar with Christmas traditions. Are keys parties common?

    So does this mean Ann-Margret's not coming?

    Since federally owned land, including military training facilities, is considered public property, this is praying in public and should be dealt with appropriately.
