Christmas is the one time of the year that everyone in the family pretends to be nice to each other – and are forced to spend time together exchanging gifts they will most likely end up returning or regifting.
It is also the greatest time for binge-watching movies by yourself or with people you called loved-ones. This is the time of year that you can kick back and watch those films that if you watched at any other time would not make sense or make people think you were lonely and weird.
Yes folks, its that time. So grab your popcorn, a litre or two of your preferred drink and get ready to become a couch potato.
