A Christmas wish

Here's what we wanted for Christmas -- some Christmas movies.

Sunday night, December 25th, we surveyed the 200 movies available on demand from our cable company. Then we flipped through another two dozen or so channels of movies on our digital tier.

No sightings of "It's a Wonderful Life." No "Holiday Inn." Not even an airing of "Bad Santa."

Bizarre.

You can turn on the radio in any market in the U.S. of A. and hear Christmas songs from the middle of October onward. And yet you can't get a decent holiday movie when you want it?

What am I missing here? Why is the federal government wasting its time pressuring Comcast and Time Warner to set up "family tiers"? It's the holidays -- set up a frickin' "holiday tier"!

Right?
