Sorry about the delay in getting this started. With 14 full brackets and two mini brackets if your favorite did not make the cut you either did not nominate it or it sucked (or I simply missed your suggestion but I tried to be thorough when going through the nomination thread), For the Christmas episodes of regular TV series I decided one episode per series with the one exception being South Park which I granted two in order to round out Not-So-Family-Friendly "Christmas" Films bracket. Seeding was a combination of my personal favorites, iMDB & RT ratings and trying to have interesting matchups. In four brackets the matchups were randomized and will be for each round (the three brackets for Christmas episodes of regular TV series and the Non-Christmas Films with Memorable Christmas Related Scene bracket).. A big thank you to Tanya for compiling the Hallmark Christmas Movie bracket.

VOTE HERE! (There will also be a link at the bottom of the post if you actually want to read through the brackets before you begin voting)

It's incredible - seriously, amazing work, jkag89 - but it's also honestly a little overwhelming. There's just so much to chose from, and I haven't seen or heard of at least half the selections. That said, I just voted, and will continue to do so.

Only a few of the matchups have received a 100% response from everyone that have participated in the survey.


Plan to close voting on Round 1 late this afternoon and hopefully have Round 2 up and running by this evening.

There are a number of matchups that are still very close, I encourage you to VOTE if you have not done so yet.

Nope more folks are voting in the Hallmark Bracket than in the Doctor Who Bracket. I thought there were more nerds on this board.

Because I think they are silly. They are not used as much as in the past but there were times it seemed that 3/4 of the threads on this board had the asterisks thing and were the OFFICAL Thread.

Disappointed that Friends is already out.

Love Actually vs Just Friends...tough draw for both so early.

Home Alone with 100%.

I'll leave Round 2 open until tomorrow afternoon mostly because I really won't have time to put together the post for Round 3 until then. It will also give everyone who voted in the first round a chance in this round.

Most of the matchups are all but decided except for Full Feature Animated Films (both contest are close), all four of the Hallmark Channel Movies matchups, one of the Non-Christmas Films with Memorable Christmas scene and several of Christmas episodes of regular TV series (particularly Children's Shows bracket).

I'll leave Round 2 open until tomorrow afternoon mostly because I really won't have time to put together the post for Round 3 until then. It will also give everyone who voted in the first round a chance in this round.

Most of the matchups are all but decided except for Full Feature Animated Films (both contest are close), all four of the Hallmark Channel Movies matchups, one of the Non-Christmas Films with Memorable Christmas scene and several of Christmas episodes of regular TV series (particularly Children's Shows bracket).
More people watch these than admit, or people are guessing to screw my favorite

Currently have a tie in one of the Non-Christmas Films with Memorable Christmas Related Scene(s) Bracket and one in the Christmas Episodes from Regular Television Dramas Bracket (and another that is really close). so if you want make sure your favorite gets that extra vote or if you haven't voted yet - VOTE HERE! I'll leave the polls open just a little longer.
