It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like ….

… well, you know 🙂

All gifts have been purchased – all except my youngest brother, who also had the good fortune to be born on Christmas Day (poor fellow). Cards and parcels are scheduled to go out today and tomorrow. All that is left is to do is to sit back and enjoy the holiday.

That got me thinking about what I could do on this blog to commemorate the holiday. Then I remembered, a couple of years ago I spent each of the 10 days leading up to Christmas giving readers what I would consider a ’10-disk box set’ of essential Yuletide viewing. The order in which each selection is labeled is in not of any consequence; here is my list:

Volume 1: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Volume 2: A Christmas Story

Volume 3: Love Actually Here is a favorite scene from that film:

Volume 4: Miracle on 34th Street

Volume 5: Remember the Night

Volume 6: Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)

Volume 7: It’s a Wonderful Life

Volume 8: Christmas in Connecticut

Volume 9: Holiday Affair

Volume 10: While You Were Sleeping

Of course missing from this box set is the perennial The Snowman. There are also a couple of honorable mentions, mostly the animated world:

Mickey’s Christmas Carol

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Bedtime for Sniffles

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Scrooged

… I could go on …

I am sure I am missing some essential holiday viewing so feel free to make more suggestions in the comments section below.

‘Tis the Season! Christmas Pix, Volume 4

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) has it all – the cute, precocious kid (Natalie Wood), a fantastic Santa Claus (Edmund Gwenn) that makes you want to believe, and an awesome story to boot. There have been remakes of course – including television productions in 1955 and 1979 and a 1994 feature film but nothing beats the original.
