~~<p>It's a simple matter of math: there are 24 Days of Christmas and there are hundreds of Christmas movies.</p>
<p>Even the best organized and least busy among us would be hard-pressed to cram even half of those holiday films into an already busy schedule before Santa finishes his rounds. That means there are some hard choices about what movies to watch. So with the rather manageable notion of watching one Christmas film per day through Dec. 24, here's a holiday movie playlist for when you're setting your Netflix queue or visiting the Redbox kiosk. Many of the offerings are airing on TV, but you will have to work with your DVR to make them match up to the dates below. (Note: The list includes only theatrical films, and not the myriad TV specials.)</p>
