Holiday Inn (Special Edition)

White Christmas was an adaptation of the 1942 movie Holiday Inn. Here's that original movie, which features Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire , Marjorie Reynolds and Virginia Dale. Two guys and two gals?

The Homecoming: A Christmas Story

The made-for-TV movie that started "The Waltons" television show, this movie still brings a smile. Even in the 70s, looking back at the Great Depression was awe inspiring. Now, in the overabundance of the 21st century, it's a heartwarming reminder of what our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever DVD

I recall reading this story as a short story in one of my mom's magazines back in the 70s. What a nice way to get back to the true meaning of Christmas.
