I like Christmas movies--old ones, anyway; I ignore the sappy Hallmark-type ones. It's not Christmas without George Bailey and Clarence the angel. I also almost always watch
Miracle on 34th Street and
The Bells of St. Mary's too. Usually I just catch bits and pieces of the other classic Christmas films, preferably the B&W ones (I do love
Meet Me in St. Louis, though).
And I LOVE Charlie Brown!
