Movie fans turn out for 'The Interview' on Christmas



Andrea Mandell, USA TODAY
Christmas at the movies. It's an innocuous enough notion – unless that movie is The Interview, and it's a comedy-turned-international fiasco that barely skidded into the cineplex in time for the holidays.

Seth Rogen began the festivities by surprising ticket-holders at a 12:30am sold-out showing of The Interview Christmas Day at Cinefamily's Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles. "If it wasn't for theaters like this and people like you guys, this literally would not be (explicit) happening right now," he told fans.

Read Heartwarming Letter About WWI Christmas Truce With German Military


royal mail christmas letter

A touching letter, penned 100 years ago, has been released by the Royal Mail detailing the Christmas Day ceasefire of the First World War from a soldier's perspective. Read below
Dearest Mother,
I am writing this in the trenches in my "dug out" - with a wood fire going and plenty of straw it is rather cosy, although it is freezing hard and real Christmas weather.
I think I have seen today one of the most extraordinary sights that anyone has ever seen. About 10 o'clock this morning I was peeping over the parapet when I saw a German, waving his arms, and presently two of them got out of their trench and came towards ours.

An Australian lawyer has set a world record by stringing up almost 1.2 million Christmas lights in the center of the national capital.

Guinness World Records on Friday confirmed that the 120 kilometers (75 miles) of multicolored wire strung in the shape of three interconnected giant, wrapped Christmas gifts in a downtown Canberra mall was the largest ever image made of LED lights.

Lawyer David Richards assembled the Canberra light show with the help of an army of volunteers and powers it with electricity donated by a local power company.

Parents Boycott Church After Reverend Says Santa Is Not Real



Telegraph
Parents have spoken of their disgust after a clergywoman told children that Father Christmas is not real.

Rev Margaret McPhee made the mistake during a choir concert for primary school children from Stalham Academy, in Norfolk.

During the service at St Mary's Church in the town, the curate asked pupils what they thought Christmas was about.

When one child said "Father Christmas", she replied that he was make-believe and not real.
Angry parents posted on Facebook to express their disappointment over the incident on Monday evening.

One wrote: "Sorry my child will not attend any more church services again, she would not like it if we said there was no 'God'."

Latenight TV Host David Letterman pulls curtain on holiday tradition



David Bauder | The Associated PressWith the curtain soon to fall on David Letterman’s late-night television career, the end comes Friday for an odd and emotional holiday tradition that involves comic Jay Thomas, the Lone Ranger, a giant meatball and, most indelibly, singer Darlene Love.

Love will sing “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” for the 21st and final time on Letterman’s annual holiday show. He’s retiring from the “Late Show” next May.

“I’m looking forward to it this year more than any other year, with mixed feelings, of course,” said Letterman’s longtime bandleader, Paul Shaffer. “It’s been incredibly meaningful for me.”

Tell 'em! Ugly Christmas sweaters holiday new tradition

For years, sweaters bristling with bells, lights, appliqued Santa Clauses, snowmen and reindeer were mocked as the exclusive province of the tasteless at Christmas.

But the tide is turning and the ugly Christmas sweater has become the season’s newest tradition and continues to grow.

“Right after Halloween we bring in the ugly Christmas sweaters,” said Tracy Lynn the manager of Used House of Vintage, where street-level signs — one brandished by a man in a Mr. Peanut costume — tell Vancouver shoppers they can find “5,000 ugly Christmas sweaters upstairs.”

“It goes up every year. It’s definitely up this year,” Lynn said of the amount of merchandise her store was selling.

“We’re selling more, sooner, earlier in the season than we were last year.”

Both Lynn and Stephen Peever, who mans a sidewalk stall, Ugly Christmas Sweaters, say demand had increased markedly in the past three or four years. They attributed that growth to more people having office and house parties featuring ugly Christmas sweaters.
