#4In Poland, we have a "bizarre TV tradition" of watching Home Alone during Christmas on one of the main TV stations (Polsat). Usually Home Alone 2 is played the next day.
One year the station wanted to play a different movie during the holiday season and people wrote petition to bring it back.

I'm Norwegian too, and remember watching it on a Swedish broadcasting channel when I was a kid. We had two channels, the Norwegian state funded broadcasting channel, and the Swedish state funded broadcasting channel. Good times!
