Holiday Movies
I woke up this morning with a holiday “classic” firmly in mind… namely Home Alone, for the “We Slept In” scene. I’ll let you draw your own inferences.
It got me thinking though, about movies that are true holiday classics. You know, like Holiday Inn… It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th St., Ernest saves Christmas.
One of those doesn’t belong in that list. But, Christmas is a great time to catch some classic films. I think I’d probably have to declare Holiday Inn my favorite… this year, at least. Particularly because it gets slighted in favor of “White Christmas,” even though the song White Christmas appeared in Holiday Inn first. I digress… what Christmas classic are you looking forward to watching?
well, we’ve watched the 35 and 38 versions of your Uncle’s fave – still have Sims, Scott, Stewart, Murray, Winkler to watch
) okay now I’m getting silly we never watch the Winkler version.
Christmas Story – maybe qualifies as an almost classic.
You raise a very good point about Holiday Inn – people forget that – I was listening to the Bingster sing White Christmas tonight and thinking about how many people think it came from the movie of the same name.

You are a very bright boy
Okay, really, I don’t think you should intimate that It’s A Wonderful Life shouldn’t be on that list… Honestly, it’s a classic!
I’m looking forward to watching more Christmas movies with you this year.
There is no question, It’s A Wonderful Life is the most classy of the classics!
I’ve already watched White Christmas and Holiday Inn, but I missed It’s a Wonderful Life, so I ordered it. I also ordered Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown because it reminds me so much of my childhood…even the music brings back happy memories.
