Yes, well, Karl Rove was born on Christmas day 1950. For more facts and trivia on what happened on this day in 1950 ... keep reading ... "Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Men" (NO, not women, it's 1950 for Christ's sake!) A Warner Bros. news reel played in theaters before viewing the feature film. Which at the time could have been Walt Disney's Cinderella, The Third Man (with Orson Wells and Joseph Cotton), All About Eve (with Bette Davis and Anne Baxter), Cheaper By The Dozen (with Jeanne Crain and Clifton Webb) or Dallas (with Gary Cooper).

As the spirit of Christmas unites all humanity, men and women everywhere reaffirm their faith in the brotherhood of man. The News Magazine of the Screen presents, from around the world, the spirit of Peace On Earth Good Will Toward Men. The theme here is "Silent Night" as everyone is singing it, all over the world, in only the English language of course.

We visit cultural differences in celebrating Christmas. Starting with United States and the Vienna Boys Choir I think. But that would make them from Vienna, and not the United States. So, maybe not ... but as many know, the United States celebrates Christmas with Santa that was designed by Coca Cola and he puts stuff we can't afford in our obnoxious socks ... oops ... we're in England already ... another boys choir. Okay, maybe I don't know my boy choirs. England is pretty much like USA I think, except they have Boxing Day ... which is where Queen Elizabeth traditionally kicks Mike Tyson in the nuts ... and has every Christmas day since he was born ... hence his high voice. ... yikes we're in Holland already ... no boy choirs, just a nativity ... wtf ... we're in France in the street now crying at something ... I think baby Jesus. They celebrate by putting their shoes out for Pere Noel and he fills one with fried potatoes and the other with ketchup ... or a fancier condiment called catsup ... arrghh Sweden with their Santa and they call the big guy "Tomten" ... Santa Tom knocks on the door, and does not burn his ass in the fireplace . ... can't keep up! ... we're now in, Switzerland smoking a pipe and looking at a Christmas tree ... I think they call Santa "little Jesus" or something, and get oranges in their shoes for gifts, but children make barrels of cheese to leave out for Lil'J along with a shotgun to shoot it with ... hence creating little holes in their cheese, and they live on the holy cheese until next Christmas ... oh dear God, now Korea ... that was quick ... now Japan which I am not buying because I'm pretty sure this footage is of Albuquerque ... but their Santa is like a part-time Monk who puts live fish in their toilets and the kids get a new Ginsu knife with a cutting board to hack up fish all day ... now ... Canada ... a bunch of snow and we're pretty much done ... shoot something out of Santa's helicopter or something ... children celebrate by sniffing glue that the elves use to make toys for real countries ... off to Mexico where you don't put your tongue out for snowflakes ... they are a bit late of course and sleep in until the first week of January or something ... and I think their Santa is a tapeworm who wakes up the kids in the morning with stuff in their beds. I could be mistaken on many of these facts.

A big MERRY CHRISTMAS to the person who filed a copyright claim against this film and LOST. Sorry, but "Karl Rove" stays in the title. He was born Christmas Day 1950. That's not my fault. File a claim against Jesus.

This has the best video description ever, holy shit.

[XmasFLIX]

@CleaveTheDragon oh crap, people actually read that poo?! I was a bit fried when I was doing input so you inspired me to correct the typos.

I apologize to every country in the world in advance. You know us fat Americans are a bit ignorant unless it has something to do with a McDonald's value meal.

Although I have not heard any corrections, so I guess I have my facts straight. Who needs wikipedia to make shit up for you when you can just pull it out of your snow hole.

Merry Xmas!
