We had a screening tonight of several fun programs mentioned in the book. The above image is the cover of the program for the event. Tonight's schedule:
"Too Many Christmas Trees" from The Avengers (1965) pg. 80 in The Christmas TV Companion
"The Star" from The New Twilight Zone (1985) pg. 36
Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life (1993) pg. 13
My Santa! (2005) pg. 104-5
"Christmas Episode" from The Jack Benny Show (ca. 1950s) pg. 114-15
Christmas Visit (also known as Santa Visits Antarctica) (1959) pg. 42-3
Santa Claus' Story (ca. 1950s?) pg. 124-25
And, my dear friend Michael added a short clip of the holiday musical number "Yeh Pal Chanehal" from the Bollywood film, Kalicharan (1976).
I selected these programs because this particular audience is one that appreciates TV science fiction and cult TV series. I provided a little bit of introduction and commentary before each program and it seemed to be quite a success. Perhaps next Christmas this event could be inspiration for your own MYOM with friends and family.
Sounds like that you had pretty good time there and hopefully the book will be a good success in future. Do let us know about any other such events in future.
