Our #ChristmasEve film tradition: “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” A dramatisation of the poem by Dylan Thomas of the same name.
Wholesome, funny, sentimental, nostalgic. That’s what I like at #Christmas.

At this point in the #Grinch they say he had discovered the true meaning of #Christmas. As he holds aloft the merchandise that they have just said wasn’t important and he immediately returns it all. #holiday #holidayfilms #holidaymovies
#Christmas in the Hope household has moved on to the #Grinch. No 4K upscaled nonsense. No Jim Carrey. Just a digital TV recording from 2008 of the original animation.
Amusingly there are chyrons embedded in the recording that advertise the “NEW” special from Pixar: Prep & Landing. It’s up next. I love it.

If John Hughes had simply shot a few scenes twice then Planes, Trains and Automobiles would be a Christmas classic for those who celebrate that holiday.
Thanksgiving might be secular but is also very American.
I just saw it in a cinema with the whole family and everyone, not just us, really enjoyed it. It is Hughes' and Candy's best and up there for Steve Martin as well.

I am interested in what people have as their must-see, it’s-not-the-holidays-without-it films. For me it’s:
- National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. We refer to this as “The Holy Film” or just “The Film”
- A Child’s Christmas in Wales
- A Christmas Story
- Charles Dickens “A #Christmas Carol”: the old black and white Alistair Sim one.
- Honorable mention to Pixar’s “Prep & Landing”

This is magnificent. Only because it is #HayaoMiyazaki a glimpse of this visionary’s mind is the best thing I’ve seen all year. #Zen streaming on #HBOMax #anime #art #holidayfilms
