| Summary |
From 1939's Miracle on Main Street, to the Christmas movies of the 21st century, Arnold showcases a bucket list of the best holiday films. He features commentary, behind-the-scenes stories, and favorite moments for each film, spanning eight decades. In addition to the thirty-five theatrical-release titles that receive full-length entries, Arnold considers others that, though not what most would call a "Christmas movie," contain elements that make them seasonal favorites to many. -- adapted from back cover, Introduction, and perusal of book |
