-I´m guessing that you´ve seen a lot of Christmas movies in your life. But did you know that there are only four types of Christmas movies that have ever been made? That´s right: Four! And they´ve been made over and over again. So I´ve got Matt Gallager here to walk us through them. And the first one is the "Christmas Redemption Story", which is really just Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol retold. <br><br>

-M.G.:That is "Your Christmas is in trouble" one. Which is great because the villain doesn’t get, uh, doesn’t get redeemed so much as he gets thrown off a roof by Bruce Willis usually, uh, or some other piece of slapstick violence. It´s like a Home Alone, uh, Gremlins comes to mind, uh, which I completely forgot was a Christmas movie until I went back and watched it. <br><br>

-M.G.: Christmas is the time to kind of gloss over that. That seems to be the basis for a lot of these. My favorite Christmas movie, uh, is "Trapped in Paradise", with Nick Cage and Dana Carvey. And it´s a horrible family! It´s like three guys who are all just getting out of jail who decide that their family is the reason for the season. <br><br>
