The reason I bring this up is that my wife insists that it's a movie to be viewed during the Halloween season, I, on the other hand, feel that it can be viewed during either holiday (or, in my case, I can watch NBC any time of the year!). Anyway, I just wanted to get your thoughts and opinions of what time of the year that you might prefer watching this Tim Burton masterpiece...
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I would have to go for both. It is what happens when two holidays collide, so it would "make sense" (if that's possible) for both. I geuss the real reason that I say both is HMH at DL is up for all of October, getting Halloween covered, and through December, covering Christmas. I think if I could only pick one holiday to watch it, I would go for Thanksgiving, as it is a nice middle ground between the two.

Originally Posted By Kuzcochik Most definitely both. I tend to start watching it in Oct and then watch it as many times as possible until Dec. ^_^
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Neither...it's a November movie, to be viewed between both. ;-) (but you have permission to watch it "out of season" if you wish)

Originally Posted By Indigo Our ultimate goal with our halloween and christmas decorates are to just put NBC themed decorations for Halloween then slowly add more and more until they become our Chrismas decorations too. So I say both.
