The holidays are full of errands and tasks to complete. There are cookies to bake, presents to buy and parties to plan. But when it's time to unwind and have some fun, many families turn to holiday movies to get into the spirit of the season.
In a survey conducted by Blockbuster, 75 percent of respondents said watching movies is a great way to spend time with family during the holidays; 68 percent said movies get their family into the holiday mood; and 61 percent said watching a particular movie or program was one of their holiday traditions. Eighty percent also said movies are a great way to relax from the stress of the holidays.
