Home Alone is definitely a Christmas movie 🍿 And Kevin hung the paint cans from the upstairs banister. The only trap I could see Kevin having a problem setting up would be the zip line to the tree house. Other than that it was pretty believable. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

Rick, loved your "Home Alone" tribute. It IS a Christmas movie, no doubt (although I don't personally consider Die Hard or Gremlins Christmas movies). I'm in my 50's so I remember these coming out at the movies well. Your laser disc comment about not really remembering them made me laugh and realize just how old I am. lol I have a laser disc player and maybe 30 or so discs. They were the precursor for dvd's and were improved on when they made them smaller, aka the dvd. And you said you grew up on Genesis. I spent my teens playing Atari , they didn't have video games open to the masses til then. lol Mission Command was my jam. Anyway just wanted to say I love watching your channel. Brings back a lot of memories of my teens and early 20's. Great job!

Love your collection Rik, that Kevin doll is a little Freaky though especially as he can't scream 😂 Home alone is definitely a Christmas movie 100%.Sure technically the story could be set at any time but it works even more at Christmas. It's not only about a little boy home alone for Christmas. It's about his family , in particularly his mum trying to get home for Christmas, for him. That struggle can be real for some families they may never get home for Christmas, just like all John candy's band in the film. That's what Christmas is all about the family get together and being at home for Christmas! Because sadly there are some people home alone for Christmas, this film strengththens the importance of family/friends unity at Christmas. To me that's more important than the presents etc. Christmas is not being alone. Its family🎅🎄

I'm totally on board with Home Alone and Gremlins as Christmas movies, but not so much Die Hard. The Talkboy was my favorite item you featured. Did you know that the young adult novelization of the film explained that he made his voice lower when calling the hotel by simply squeezing the player? Apparently the one in the film did not have the dial that the marketed toy does. As I recall the book also opens with a dream sequence where Kevin had set traps in the garage as well and in a particularly grotesque moment he drops a running push lawnmower onto the Wet Bandits.
