This is the time of year when we all gather to watch our favorite Christmas and holiday movies.

Many residents across New York state however may be cramming for time, as they do their shopping, or finish up that project at work they've been putting off. So, a good movie is in order to forget about all the holiday stress, and get into the spirit of the season.

So, what Christmas movies are New Yorkers watching?

How about some of the all time worst classics that you hear every year? After all, they pretty much wheel Mariah Carey out from wherever she's hiding by late November every year, and start playing  All I Want for Xmas song every other hour.

Then, you have an apparent lack of appreciation for non English speaking cultures trying to celebrate Christmas. Feliz Navidad?

Trust us, we've heard worse.
