Cancel all your Christmas plans, Home Alone 2 is on TV tonight

James Dawson

Lose a child once and you can put it down as human error, lose a child twice and, let’s face it, it’s probably a matter for child protection services

It’s not really Christmas until you watch Home Alone, is it?

But where do you go from there? What possible thing could you possibly do to make yourself feel more Christmas-y after that. How do you follow up watching two burglars getting hit in the balls with various contraptions as they attempt to get into Macaulay Culkin’s house?

Well, on Christmas Day 2018, I have found you the answer.

Your Christmas vibes are about to get cranked up to 11. You are going to feel to Christmas-y that baubles are going to reign down from the sky upon you. Christmas will consume you. You will feel so Christmas-y that you will want it to stop.

Yeh, that’s right Home Alone 2 is on!

Here’s a synopsis of it: “Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back! But this time he’s in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his own playground! But Kevin won’t be alone for long.

“The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist. Kevin’s ready to welcome them with a battery of booby traps the bumbling bandits will never forget!”

It’s on Channel 4 tonight at 5.40pm and what’s more there’s The Muppet Christmas Carol on before it.
