On the surface, since I first saw WhChr on TV, it's been a sort of personal challenge to catch it; initially, there weren't all of the internet tv guides and I didn't have cable (or the DVD) at the time.
I hadn't really analysed before, but as a spur of the moment guess, I'd say that watching it on TV makes it, in a way, a shared Christmas experience. Whoever else may or may not be around me (and it's been anywhere from solo at home to a few dozen others at the public library), I know that there are hundreds (thousands?) who are also enjoying a little slice of nostalgic Christmas spirit.
