Sweden's tradition of watching Donald Duck cartoons on Christmas Eve (2009)

for some unexpicable reasons, in italy we get 80's movies (Trading Places (1983) is the top) and asterix cartoons. I used to wait eagerly for those, to be frank.

In Russia and most of the former Soviet Union (even in Ukraine, Georgia and Baltics), they watch one and the same film for 25 years, now.

Here's the film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073179/

I find it no more bizarre than A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I watch this every New Year's eve, do Russians watch it on Christmas Eve?

Kalle Anka provides a excellent time where the parents can take a break after eating the Christmas dinner, drink coffee, and prepare for the event of delivering and opening presents with the children. A break, where everyone is expected lean back, to sit still and be calm.
