My husband and I watch every sappy Christmas movie that comes out - but we do wait at least until November :-)
One that we really love and want to buy is almost never broadcast, and you can almost never find it on Amazon - it’s always out of stock:
Sounds good. I was very sad during the December season in 2015 and those movies made me feel good when nothing else did.
I think very highly of Richard Thomas (John Boy) because once when I was alone at the baggage claim with a squirming toddler in my arms, he saw me struggling to get my luggage and came over to help me. He got all of my luggage and put it in a cart and made sure I was ok and then disappeared with his wife. No one seemed to recognize him and nobody really was paying attention to his good deed. It’s what you do when no one is watching that makes you a great person.
A warm, embracing Christmas story is a 1978 TV movie "Stubby Pringle's Christmas" w. Beau Bridges, Julie Harris, Strother Martin and the last appearance of Chill Wills.
I can only find it on YouTube.
One we enjoyed numerous times is 2010 Hallmark movie "November Christmas" w. Sam Elliot, Karen Allen, Jon Corbit. So many interpersonal relations to be addressed.
