I just watched my first Christmas movie of the season, One Special Night (1999) with James Garner and Julie Andrews. I found it on YouTube, and this was the third time I've seen it.
A few days later, my wife Holly and I watched one of our favorite Christmas movies, Christmas in Connecticut.
It's the day after Thanksgiving, and we watched Miracle on 34th Street and Christmas Mountain (one of our new favorites). And I watched The Christmas Gift (with John Denver).
Oh, and Holly and I just watched another favorite, The Bishop's Wife. Cary Grant made a great angel.
I just watched one of my favorite Christmas movies, The Santa Clause 2, and I'm beginning another favorite, It Happened on 5th Avenue. The latter isn't famous, but I love it. Interestingly, Michael O'Connor lives in New York, but he spends Christmas in Bubbling Springs, Va. Their in-movie map shows that town, and it happens to be in the same area where I was born, Hot Springs.
With any luck, we'll watch many more movies by Christmas.
