No poker on Christmas Day...just non-stop watching of old Christmas movies. I do not even celebrate Christmas...I celebrate Chanukah...but I still love to watch the classics like, "It's A Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, Going My Way and Bells of St Mary's." I must have seen each of these movies over 50 times (I'm 72).
Of course I'll play whenever I can, even if it's just for half an hour. There are some poker games now that only last fifteen or thirty minutes, and you can also play some cash games.
Personally, if I find the right time and place, I'll usually play Spin & Gold at the very least 😂 😂😂

We used to have a large collection of 'home movies'. When I was a kid my father would take movies of us every Christmas Day. It became a tradition. One Christmas in the early 90's one of my sister's made a compilation video of all the Christmas movies combined and put them on a couple of VHS tapes and then gave each of us copies for Christmas. The movies went from 1958 to 1978. I haven't watched my copy for 20years now.... maybe this is what I'll do on Christmas Day (after playing some poker that is, LOL).SPANKYSN said:
I watch the old classics too, but am sure to include Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph, & Grinch (only the old, original versions... I don't care for any of the new ones).
Of course I'll be playing poker on Christmas Day!
Christmas season has generally been a difficult time for us the past few years as we've lost a lot of family members. Playing some poker will be a great way to take my mind off of it for awhile... AND there should be loads of donks on the tables during the Holidays. I'm thinking the USA friendly sites will be the best!

No Die Hard?? Thats a Christmas classic in the UK, how about other places??SPANKYSN said:
I chose no I won't, but in reality, I'll likely quickly play the GG freebies, and maybe some PLO 5 to get my required number of AA for the bonus ticket.
That will be it though, I'll play some more games in the week after Christmas I reckon
Haven't played much in 2025 yet but will 110% being playing over the next couple of weeks till Jan 2nd(then we'll see how I feel then) including Christmas day. As I've always done pretty well over the holidays. Gotten a few bigger MTT wins and finals tables during the holidays seems to be the softest time of year to play.
As for Christmas movies well The Grinch, Miracle on 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life, of course Diehard(it's a classic) and a few others that the wife like more than I do.
Cheers!!!

Many value poker as a combination of luck and skill, a way to socialize with friends and unwind informally during the holidays. For some, it's a family tradition, for others, a way to earn money, and they emphasize the importance of managing emotions to avoid the disappointment of losing during the holidays.
