I’ve compiled lists of my favorite Christmas movies and this year I'm listing them off by year, 1 per day because 2025 has just the right number of days.
Turns out this task was much harder than I expected. Some years have several great movies and some none at all 3 of 4

And this year I wrote a Christmas screenplay about a burnt out drummer who rekindles her joy in music and love with the help of an obstreperous parrot. DM me if you're interested. #christmas #christmasmovies 2/4

I love sparkly lights and glitter and chocolate in all forms, so this is one of my favorite times of year. I’ve written Christmas short stories (compiled in my Yuletide Thrills collection) 1/4 #christmas #christmasmovies

Thanks for the tip! Just bought it.
Seconded, with an added recommendation of Phobetor's Children. Matt had such a great knack for mixing genres and for me this historical sci-fi horror was his best blend #horrorsky #booksky

I recommend his last short published short story "All Quiet on the Terraces" which made me cry because it was such a wonderful good-bye ghost story. But buy both as they are wonderful. @chaoticauthor.online will be missed. #horrorsky #booksky
#HorrorSky, if you haven't read the works of MG Mason, AKA @chaoticauthor.online, then this is your opportunity to do so. He passed away this week, and it's a damned shame more people don't know his stories. I recommend "Residents of the James Hotel."

Matt was a pillar of the horror community on Bsky and an absolutely magnificent person. Hug the ones you love, folks.
I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

Reading the Salmonweird series by MG Mason. Delightful mystery cozies set in Cornwall where the main character is a retired detective inspector and also the only living human in a town full of ghosts. Just finished the Christmas one: A SALMONWEIRD SLAYING. Fun! #amreading #booksky

Pi Day! I bake a pie every year for it. Any holiday that involves pie is way up on my ranking (on the bright side: ANY holiday can involve pie). #writestuff

If I can change it to a short story, any of them by Connie Willis, although I'm partial "To All Seated On the Ground" #writestuff
#WriteStuff Q4 Best *novel* with a Christmas scene?
(hard mode on -- one that has not become a movie).

I answered this out of sequence: Rare Exports, Edward Scissorhands, and The Princess Bride. #writestuff
#WriteStuff Q3 Best Christmas movie? "Die Hard", "Gremlins", and "The Long Kiss Goodnight" all count.

Finally got the chance to watch Frankenstein. So GORGEOUS! By far my favorite film version. The colors! The backdrops! The emotional resonance! Parts looked like Caspar David Friedrich paintings come to life. So wonderful.
