Is it just me or is this movie more meant to be watched on Christmas night than any other time?

Yes

To me, Christmas is over at noon the 25th. Christmas Eve is where it's at.

Yes i only watch it during the marathon as well.

Yes. More precisely though, you have the marathon playing in the background while you're preparing the meal and everybody is opening up their gifts and trying things on and playing with their new toys and then you eat until your stuffed and then you clean up a bit and then you sit around and bullshit and then you eat dessert and then you go sit down in the living room and actually watch it. Or you go sit down and watch it for a while, and then you go back in the kitchen and eat dessert. And then you go back into the living room and you sit down and really watch it. Something to that effect anyway lol.
