Advent Calendar - Day 20
As we get closer and closer to the holiday, I get a bit more sentimental and, er, sappy. Come on! It's not just me.
My dad's all time favorite Christmas movie is Holiday Inn. (My mom's--for the record--is The Bishop's Wife and I do not mean the remake with poor old Whitney Houston.) And I never watch Holiday Inn without wondering what it is that appeals so strongly to my male parental unit. Is it just nostalgia for a times past? I don't know. It's an entertaining movie, mostly, and it's certainly a peek into the popular mindset of the 1940s. It's also the first appearance of Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas".
So...there you go.
Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?

The Bishop's Wife (just look at the cast: Cary Grant, David Niven AND Elsa Lanchester!)
The Shop around the Corner
White Christmas (not a Bing Crosby fan, but I adore Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen is a fantastic dancer)
We're no Angels (I like Bogart best in funny roles...)
The Thin Man and The Lion in Winter are favourites of mine that take place during Christmas, but does that make them Christmas movies...?
Happy Holidays! :) Thank you for taking the time to post every day!
