It is probably no secret to you, that I love writing, here on the blog, and my screenwriting. But I would also like to declare that I also love Christmas. And in the next few days I am really looking forward to just putting the laptop down a while, putting my notes aside, and just vegetating in front of the television. I am not sure what is scheduled yet, I haven’t looked. Quite a few Christmas specials I suspect. I’ll no doubt hook up the HDMI and create my own spontaneous Christmas TV schedule. For now, here are five Christmas-related scenes you surely have not seen enough of – if at all.
One quick comment, Christmas is a time to share so I would like to wish all reading this a wonderful festive holiday.
The US version of The Office carried over the comedic tone of the UK version much better than I suspect a lot of people first thought. Churning out season after season, there was plenty of opportunities for Jim (John Krasinski) to prank Dwight (Rainn Wilson) – a trademark subplot made famous by the original (with Tim and Gareth). You could easily pluck one such scene out of the air then, but I opted for Jim wrapping (when he found the time to do that simply does not matter in comedy) all of Dwight’s work equipment in Christmas paper. Brilliant.
