Carol, if you haven't seen, it, you should get it when you get A Charlie Brown Christmas (another of my favs.) <br /><br />I also really love A Muppets Christmas Carol. :-)<br /><br />Our fav Christmas Carol version is the 1950's one, with Alastair Sim. Wonderful and atmospheric. <br /><br />It's A Wonderful Life, of course, is at the top of my list. And I totally, completely love Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. :-) We repeat lines from that movie all the time. "We needed a coffin-- I mean, a tree . . . " So funny.<br /><br />And although not a movie, I absolutely love Rick Steves' European Christmas. You can often get it through PBS channels this time of year, with a pledge, or on his website. Very very cool. My favorite part is when they come sledding down the Alps as twilight falls, with their Christmas tree, lighting their way by carrying torches. Amazing.http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-15710277941174258852009-12-10T10:38:06.448-05:002009-12-10T10:38:06.448-05:00Stacey, I love Holiday too.

My publisher is having a contest and us authors (good English, huh?) got to put a picture of our favorite holiday movie on our websites, and I couldn't resist choosing Holiday Inn. It's an old one (your husband would like it, I'm sure) it's totally un-politically correct, and schmaltzy, but something about Bing Crosby and Fred Astair trying to win the love of the same girl, and the cozy inn...makes my holidays bright.<br /><br />Happy Holidays!Laura Breckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622448004680324135noreply@blogger.com
