Before christmas I usually play the MGS saga, from 1 to 3. It reminds me of my childhood and makes me think about the future with some hope, specially with the ending of 1.

Month of Halloween I try to find some new scary games, but I usually stick with the classics.

On Christmas I try to replay some PS1 and PS2 games that I really enjoyed as a kid or were given as a present to me on that time. Jak 2, Crash Bandicoot 2, Tekken 3, San Andreas, Time Crisis, Sonic Adventure... If I feel specially nostalgic I play some arcades (Usually Capcom) too at the time. Also I play NiGHTs into dreams (Steam port), and Street Fighter 3 (Don´t care the version but I usually play the original for pic related) because the OST and some stages evoke so much christmas spirit on me.

Oh and also I watch Die Hard on Christmas.

No reason to play second attack or new generation EXCEPT for the superior music and backgrounds.
It's GORGEOUS

SFIII tops them both though.

I agree with you mostly. 3D is the way forward but not some default "it will look better cause it's in 3D" easy solution. What looks best is a matter of beauty, so wether something is pixels or polygons is never the first issue.

SFIV for example is not the best looking Street Fighter (all your other comparisons hold up though). Street Fighter III has better nuanced animations, with some amazing detail in the movement of muscles and clothing making the characters look much more alive than their stiff puppet counterparts in SFIV. There's also the matter of SFIV levels looking aesthetically anorexic and boring when put next to stuff like the SFIII:2i level pictured.
