This year I started watching holiday films on the day before Thanksgiving, opening with the wonderful Home for the Holidays and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. A month later, I’ve sat through just about every Christmas movie, TV special and Christmas sitcom episode there is to sit through. 68 in total. Before getting to my ten favorites, a few notes.
- I can’t deal with It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s just so damn dreary. I know it’s beloved but not by me.
- No, A Christmas Story is not on this list.
