Christmas Movies and Cable TV in Indonesia

It's Christmas, well technically it is Boxing Day, so I am not going to focus on the negative. Instead I am going to focus on the positive.

I have gotta say that the Hallmark Channel had a great line-up of Christmas movies. Their program culminated with "A Grandpa For Christmas". Too bad that Will, the Wife, and I had the day out shopping.

Getting off the topic of my own post, it is great to live in a country where last minute Christmas shopping actually means you can go out on Christmas Day and shop!

Well, can't say am happy or not. But I wish, someday I can celebrate christmas in a country where most of the people celebrate Christmas.

BTW, A Grandpa For Christmas, is the only movie I can watch after the hectic, busy and funny Christmas lunch at home.

Happy Holiday Rob, Mrs Rob and Will :-)

It was not about being happy or not. When you take all the commercial stuff out of Christmas and talk of its pagan origins, then it really is a personal experience shared with family and friends.

In that sense, it does not matter where you have your Christmas ;)

I just figured that the cable tv here is essentially imported and Indonesian ads inserted, so I would have figured on HBO, Cinemax, and Star Movies having a much more solid Christmas line-up.

Thanks for the wishes. I hope you enjoy the holiday season with you and yours as well!

Hahahaha, yes, you're right :-D

There's nothing in this world can replace the Christmas eve with our dearest family.

Maybe Rob, because Christmas is not as the major celebration in Indonesia :-)
