There are many ways to celebrate the holidays and a favorite DCist tradition is going to the movies on Christmas day. While almost everything else will be shuttered tight for the holiday, area movie theaters are gearing up for this year’s big releases. Coming out Christmas day are the following:

The Aviator: Howard Huges biopic staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale and Gwen Stefani.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: A new Wes Anderson movie helps to somewhat fill that void left with no new Lord of the Rings coming out this year. Stars Bill Murray and Owen Wilson as deep sea explorers, apparently.
Fat Albert: The cartoon comes to life. Is this going to be any good? DCist has our doubts and we’re not going to pay $9 to find out.
Meet the Fockers: Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. Despite the weird casting, we’re betting it’s a hit.

What are you watching this Christmas DCers? Is there anything good coming out we may have missed?
