The online gaming site is hiring a “Chief Festivity Officer (CFO)” to watch and rate 125 Christmas movies. Sounds like a lot of movies but you could get paid $2,000 to do what you’re already doing this holiday season!
The lucky new CFO will go on a holiday journey through a list of Christmas movies.

The Rating System
1. Rewatch Wonder – How likely are you to snuggle up and re-watch this holiday classic next year? Is it timeless, or a one-and-done affair?
2. Cringe-o-Meter – On a scale of 1 to how cheesy can you get
3. Jingle Distraction Factor – Did the Christmas movies keep you glued to the screen, or were you checking your phone and begging for it to be over
4. Silent Night Snooze Scale – Did this movie make you sleepy and bored, or keep you wide awake with the story and energy?
5. Happily-Ever-After – How magical was the ending? Did you smile, cry, or wonder what the heck just happened?
6. Holiday Harmony Score – How great was the soundtrack if there was one.?
No prior movie-reviewing experience is necessary, but a love for all things merry and bright is a must! Bonus points if you’re not afraid to call out a dud when you see one.

Santa Shines In These 5 Holiday Movie Classics
When it comes to St. Nick, I’ve been a fan ever since I was a kid. He’s a holiday superhero! That’s why I love watching a good Santa movie at Christmas time. Santa movies have given us everything from heartwarming tales and even raunchy comedies. Some of these movies hit just right and become holiday classics, while others, wouldn’t even make it on the Hallmark channel. So let’s stick to the good stuff here. The ones that make you laugh, and hit you right in the feels.
First up, there’s just something hilarious about watching a regular guy get roped into being Santa and having absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Add in some elves and reindeer who are way too serious about their jobs, and boom, instant holiday movie gold. If you’ve ever wanted to see your dad bumble around trying to do something he’s not prepared for, there’s a movie for that, and it’s The Santa Clause.
Then, you’ve got the Christmas magic of Buddy the Elf. He’s not Santa himself, but he’s basically the spirit of Christmas in oversized tights. You can’t talk about Santa without mentioning how Buddy practically forces Christmas spirit onto everyone, even a grumpy Santa who acts more like he needs a nap than a sleigh ride. He kind of reminds me of my Buddy Booger. He drives you nuts, but you can’t help but love the guy.
Okay so let’s not forget about the classics, though. If you’re tired of the latest CGI movies, an old-school black-and-white movie might just hit the spot. Miracle on 34th Street is it. I used to watch this every year with my mom. She loves it. It’s that Christmas film that reminds you there’s still magic in the world, even if it’s hiding in a courtroom.
And I cant forget about Arthur Christmas! Oh the memories! I must of watched this movie EVERY day when my daughter was little. It’s a movie where Santa’s youngest kid, who looks like he couldn’t organize a sock drawer, goes full hero to deliver a single gift. He brings the kind of dedication we should all bring to holiday shopping.
Of course, not every holiday movie plays by the rules. Sometimes you need a Saint Nick who’s more grumpy than jolly, someone who’s better at downing drinks than handing out gifts. A movie like Bad Santa is perfect for those days when you need a laugh after the kids goes to bed.
