Does that have something to do with daylight? I can concentrate on movies better if it's dark outside, and I can turn off the lamps in the room and make it like a movie theater.

The US cable channels often run The Godfather (and its sequels) as a Thanksgiving or Christmas attraction. And I recall some Hollywood writer-director -- Nora Ephron, maybe? -- saying she and her family watched this every year at Christmas.

So...there's that.

The movie itself has a lot of autumn and winter scenes and the interiors are often very dark(as photographed by a DP named Gordon Willis who was dubbed "the prince of darkness" for his taste in such.)
