10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...Your Top Christmas Films
Possibly something that's almost just as good as Christmas itself...it is of course Christmas movies! Yep they give us that warm feeling that everything's a little different at this special time of year, the birds sing a little louder, people smile just that little bit wider and kids everywhere go just that extra bit more huper! Oh the joy!

1) Miracle on 34th Street: The scenes of the Macyâs Thanksgiving Day Parade are actually taken from the 1946 parade. The movie is credited with bringing the traditional parade to the national spotlight, and Macyâs employees were given half a day off so they could see the first showing of the movie.
2) Home Alone: In the scene where chief bad guy played by Joe Pesci bites Kevin's finger, he actually bit harder than expected and left Macaulay with a scar he has to this day.

The Jumpers of Christmas Past...
The world has literally gone crazy for kitsch, Cheesy Christmas Jumpers (or ugly jumpers as some people like to call them).
We have been hooked ever since Colin Firth fashioned a rather fetching Reindeer Jumper in Bridget Jones Diary, but it doesn't end or even begin there. The cult of the Christmas Jumper has reigned for quite some time now. Ever since grannies decided to take up knitting needles, keeping themselves busy with increasingly intricate, vivid, sparkly and even 3D, festive woolen fantasies, people have been either proudly flaunting this festive fashion or begrudgingly obliged to wear it at family functions.
If it seems all too familiar, you will probably recognise the deliberate fashion faux-pas from some of your favourite movies and TV shows. Remember these?
