Is it just me ............ or does the period between Thanksgiving and New Years have a "Rocky" feel to it??
For me it does .... and I think it's because the first one takes place during that period ,,, and just like Christmas, you feel a certain nostalgia.
I also don't think it's a cooincidence that RB was filmed during the winter months.

I agree with that entirely. One of my Thanksgiving traditions is to eat my Thanksgiving TV dinner during a screening of "Rocky". It also helps that November is the unofficial month of Rocky. Rockys I, IV, and V were all released this month.
Also, I think television is conspiring to make me sick of Rocky. AMC has had two, TWO Rocky I-V marathons Sunday and Monday. And they just had a Rocky week (one movie each night of the week) two weeks ago. And on Thanksgiving, the sports channel Versus is airing Rocky I-V, followed by Rocky I-III that night. Jeesh!
