Christmas Movies!

[ReadyforSupper]

I don't see much television (ours has a vhs recorder in it lol) but there are two that I always enjoy.
The 1951 (agreed, frightening) A Christmas Carol and the (you're gonna shoot your eye out kid) A Christmas Story.

There was one short Christmas movie that changed my humbug self from fighting to keep dead trees out of my living room. It's called "The Perfect Gift" and is one of the "Stranger" movies.

The Bishop's Wife starring Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven is probably my favorite. We always watch Scrooge, the musical version of A Christmas Carol, on Christmas Eve.

I love that version of The Bishop's Wife! I really enjoy old movies. They didn't have all the cursing and icky stuff that movies have now.

Another library loner I recently watched:
The Lemondrop Kid
Bob Hope starred in it. It was really funny

I am a clarinetist/bass clarinetist.
It is a fun job

I played both in High School. Clarinet and Bass Clarinet!!! I don't know if I could hit a note now! I was in the Orchestra and in Marching Band too! Those were some really fun times!

I have many favorite movies and every year there are some new ones on the Hallmark Channel I like to watch. But my favorites are the oldies like, Bells of Saint Mary's, Holiday Inn and White Christmas. I just realized Bing Crosby is in all of them hmmmmmmmm

I am just going to have to buy the Stranger movies! I've loved every one I have watched but had never heard of this one Deanna. Thanks!

A few years ago in a particularly hard season of my life I found a movie called "Homeless For The Holidays" at Gospel Supplies and bought that. It was a truly great little movie, and based on a true story!

The trailer is adorable!

I love Christmas vacation. It feels like the Griswold's are my extended family.

There are so many good Christmas movies. Leaving aside the obvious classics, Andrea and I do like The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with Henry Winkler in the lead role. It's a wonderful romantic comedy.

Now you will all think I'm silly but I like Eloise at Christmastime. It is light, and amusing which I need sometimes.

 

[Kerbluey]

I love Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Charlie Brown one.

 

[Almost Heaven]

I love the Charlie Brown cartoon too! When Linus takes the stage and tells what Christmas is all about...

I dont really like the old Christmas movies.

Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis.

 

[Psalm37v4]

I love so many Christmas movies...Holiday Affair is a classic. So is the original Miracle On 34th Street, along with the 1951 A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim (theeee best version out there, IMHO).
There's an obscure, little known kids' film called "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't" from 1966s. It's your typical story of how Christmas will be cancelled unless....in this film's case, Santa raises x amount of dollars to pay rent at the North Pole. (We're never told the amount). Lots of cute songs the kids will like. Probably too corny for older kids but little ones will probably enjoy it.

Below is a link to the film (hope this is ok?)

We just finished watching It's A Wonderful Life, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf, and have watched the Home Alone movies. They are funny, and have a Christmas theme behind it like snow, and a Christmas tree.

So I've never really paid much attention to How The Grinch Stole Christmas before (I'm not really a Dr Seuss fan), but my Grandson Max was in town a few weeks ago and we all went to the new one. The colors were amazing, btw. Anyways, am I correct in that the Grinch becomes Born Again at the end? I knew he came "good" all these years but only this time it made me cry seeing he actually accepted Christ into his heart...the God shaped hole. I loved it!! I enjoyed that they actually sang CHRISTmas songs too instead of coming up with some "holiday" songs. Just my humble opinion.
