'Tis almost the season to be jolly. Most of us have done the majority of our excessive Christmas shopping, hopefully in aid of a good cause, and now want to relax and get into the holiday spirit. Here are six classic films that do the trick every year.
Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas and happy streaming New Year 2020!
'It's a Wonderful Life' (1946)
This classic film features George Bailey, a man who has many problems. It’s now Christmas time, and he is considering ending it all. However, his guardian angel, Clarence, comes to the rescue just as he is about to jump off a bridge and shows George what his home town would have been if he hadn’t performed his good deeds over the years. The film stars James Stewart and Donna Reed and can be viewed on Amazon video, YouTube and Google Play.
‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ (2000)
There’s nothing like the Grinch to bring Christmas cheer – if he is played by Jim Carrey, that is. This wonderfully wacky, green character starts off by stealing presents, decorations and food from everyone in town until he finally gets a touch of the true Christmas spirit. “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” can be viewed on Netflix, Amazon Video, Google Play and Vudu.
