Favorite Holiday / Christmas Shows & Movies
Don't you just love the variety and increasing number of Christmas and Holiday movies and television movies / shows now on television and --in increasing numbers--on dvd's?
Years ago, we only got to watch a few animated Christmas shows--and maybe a couple of movies that were run a few times every year, from "Holiday Inn" to "White Christmas" to "Christmas Carol" to Miracle on 34th Street and a few others.
Now, we get to watch those --along with so many versions of those movies / shows--AND --over the past ten years in particular --we have so many NEW productions --animated programs, big screen movies, and ( especially for me ) television movies --and most particularly --those produced by Lifetime and Hallmark! As someone who loves to "escape" life through reading and a limited niche of television shows--this explosion in "remakes of older productions" --along with the explosion of new, original productions that are Christmas and holiday based --allows me to "escape" throughout the year!
I'm clearly not the only person who feels that way--as there wouldn't be all these new productions --and/or releases on dvd ( I still have maybe 50 holiday / Christmas movies on vcr too ) wouldn't be happening unless there was a substantial audience / market for them!
Because there are now so many movies and programs available--we're blessed to be able to watch these shows over and over again throughout the year! I watch 2-3 every week --52 weeks a year--especially as I have trouble sleeping --and can often be found in our den at 3:00 in the morning escaping into pleasant, "feel good" shows. The number of us doing that --throughout the year--is growing--perhaps a reflection of how uncertain, hard, and daunting life has become ...and I'm grateful for the opportunity to escape like this! I connect with Hallmark in particular on Facebook---and have / and do--encourage them to release dvd's even faster than they are!
What's your favorite 3 programs / movies?
