It's Christmas Time At The Movies: An A-Z Guide To Our Favorite Holiday Films

by Gary J. Svehla (Editor) & Susan Svehla (Editor)

Midnight Marquee Press & Luminary Press (series)

Each Christmas we shamelessly wallow in sweet sentiment brought to us courtesy of Hollywood, a glittering Tinsel Town filled with holiday spirit.

It wouldn't seem like Christmas if we didn't spend some quality time with Jimmy Stewart and folks of Bedford Falls or the March sisters - Jo, Beth, Meg and Amy. Scrooge is always a welcome guest in our home during the festive season, as well as newcomers such as the seemingly cursed but eternally optimistic Clark Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Ralphie and his quest for a BB gun in the seminal A Christmas Story, a film that has justifiably attained classic Christmas status.

Our love of Christmas movies goes back to our childhood as many of the chapters in this volume relate. Christmas is our favorite time of year, a time people seem a little friendlier, children more closely resemble angels and family ties are a little more important. We decided it was time we share our love of the season and our favorite Christmas movies with other holiday cinema fans. You hold the results in your hands.

Merry Christmas and may your journey through these pages provide you with many happy returns.
