5 Reasons To Watch "Jingle All the Way" This Christmas
Media Stinger

My dad and I have an annual tradition of watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's Christmas movie, "Jingle All the Way," around Christmastime.

It's a fairly ridiculous story about a father realizing that he needs to get his son the most popular toy of the season — on Christmas Eve. In addition to pointing out American materialism in an amusing way, the movie is a must-see for a number of other reasons.

1. The movie is full of Christmas carols.

The movie features favorites like "Run Rudolph, Run," and "I'll be home for Christmas."

2. It's quotable.

With lines like "Maybe you should wrap some chains around your neck," and "You're my number one customer," you'll have material to quote all year-round.

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger is TurboMan.

How many of California's governors were once superheroes?

4. Neighbor Ted!

This guy has to be my favorite character, even if he is awful. Or probably because he is awful. He has the audacity to come into his neighbor's house and eat (and bake) cookies. Just awful! ;)

5. And Sinbad.

I haven't seen Sinbad in a lot of movies, but anyone who can go by his first name has to be pretty cool.

So grab some friends and family and watch this gem of a movie.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
