It’s a Wonderful Life – “When a bell rings, an angel gets its wings” Cow I’m retired I don’t have to I don’t want to you can’t make me shirt. This film is often cited as one of the greatest motion pictures ever made and probably the oldest movie from our selection but what a goodie and still very relevant in these troubling times. James Stewart plays, George Bailey, a man tired of life and has almost given up altogether. When Clarence, an Angel, is sent from Heaven, to show George things really aren’t as bad as he thinks and he is very much valued. Bad Santa -He knows when you’ve been sleeping and he knows when you’re awake. Well, Billy Bob Thornton, plays a rather unscrupulous shopping Mall “Santa” is this cracker of a classic, who changes his ways after befriending an 8 year old kid. Laughs, political incorrectness a plenty and that timeless Seasonal tale of a grifter, learning the error of his life just in time for the Yuletide, warming the coldest of hearts with belly laughs along the way. Die Hard 2 – Boy this film hasn’t aged well, with the smoking in doors, the fax machines and clear security issues at Dullas Airport. I remember the first time watching this film, in a pub in the depths of the West of Ireland in the middle of Summer and nearly choking on my Guinness and falling off a bar stole when THAT plot twist is revealed. Simply a brilliant Christmas film MFs ! Tip – and a little or a lot like Home Alone, leave this Film franchise at its second outing. Office Christmas Party – There’s a good chance a considerable number of you are unfamiliar to this Yuletide offering. Please change that and you will truly thank us for introducing you to the unconventional Yuletide yearn. Jennifer Anniston plays a hard nosed business Scrooge where Christmas parties are off the agenda for this software company who haven’t had the best of years. Her brother, played by T.J Miller, has other ideas and a crazy farce ensuing including a run in with suburban drug dealing mum and a crazed HR exec played by the brilliant Kate McKinnon. Gremlins – Like Die hard this film is endlessly lamented upon as to whether it falls into the Christmas movie category. For us this game changer from back 1984, written by Chris Columbus unquestionably does. When a guy looking for the ultimate in a festive gift in the form of an unusual pet, remember a pet isn’t just for Christmas folks, comes across Gizmo accompanied with 3 simples rules not to ever be broken. When he inadvertently, but obviously does he unleashes a horde of mischievous, malevolently monsters on a small US town at the Yuletide. The Christmas Chronicles – Netflix struck Gold when they cast the unconventional Kirk Russell, what Snake from Escape from New York !?! in the titular role. This time we have two siblings who are at that troubled age of whether they believe or not and set out to catch Santa in the act. Trouble ensues and they all have team up to save the day. The day, of course, being the biggest day of the year ! Santa Claus the Movie – This Yuletide offering tells the origins story of how good olde St Nick and how back in the 14th Century this kind elderly gent would make toys for the local village people, but gets lost in the Winter snow storm and is rescued by the elf folks of the North Pole. Fast forward to the 20th Century the legend of Santa is feeling a little stale and I’m need of a PR makeover. In steps the unscrupulous toy manufacturer played by, the great,John Lithgow, and the misplaced effects of Patch the elf played by the inimitable Dudley Moore. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation – Like every great film or TV franchise, at some point they create a Christmas special, with varying degrees of success. I mean let’s not even discuss the Star Wars TV Special of on 1978, let’s keep that hidden in the archive. But the same can’t be said for this great, following the Griswold’s misadventures in trying to organise the ultimate in Family Christmas gatherings and catering to that Mish-Mash of family personalities and quirks. The Night Before – Like “The Office Party” this wonder of Christmas Cinematography may have so far escaped you, until now ! The unusual trio combination of Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie and Joseph-Gordon Levitt have enjoyed every Christmas Eve together, until Rogen and Mackie’s characters feel like they have outgrown their usual Yuletide shenanigans, but Levitt has other ideas and is confident he can change their minds. The Snowman – Raymond Briggs Festive narrative of a young boy’s magical experience with a Snowman who is brought to life through the magic of Christmas. Originally shown in the UK on Channel 4 and accompanied with eternal Choir boy Aled Jones, “Walking in the air”. An essential part of many people’s Festive Festivities, all sat round watching this with their family while slowly destroying a box of Quality Street all washed down with one too many Snowballs.

Launched in 1976, Patek Philippe’s “Nautilus” timepiece was the brainchild of fabled watch designer Gérald Genta. Cow I’m retired I don’t have to I don’t want to you can’t make me shirt Having an already successful career, Genta’s work with the Nautilus was a shift for the Patek brand, who until that point had focused primarily on gold focused watches. The watch’s octagonal bezel was immediately familiar and helped to define this watch as it grew in popularity through the 1980s and 1990s. Adding to the Nautilus prolif history and extensive set of colorations, Tiffany and Co. joined the watches rap sheet in 2021 with quite possibly one of the most iconic watch moments. A single Tiffany x Patek timepiece raffling off for $6.5 Million dollars USD. While a bit beyond the watches true price point, NYC shoe maker Ceeze wanted to immortalize this Tiffany titan through another pair of unique bespoke shoes, similar in concept to the Daytona Air Jordan 1s we first reported on in March of this year. For this watched themed creation, Ceeze has drawn in a uniquely sourced silver lizard, emulating the unique stainless steel band that helped forge the Nautilus’ infamy. Continuing to focus on the 5711 1A-018 edition, the artist has drawn in a tiffany tone suede mirror the watches’ bezel, white patent leather for the swoosh iconic swoosh and a butter soft black napa leather liner.
