Who doesn't love curling up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate and watching a Christmas movie?With the official start of the Christmas season about to kick off, I wanted to offer a few of my favorite classic Hollywood Christmas film. If you haven’t already seen these films, I hope you discover at least one new holiday favorite. If you have seen them, then I hope you’re inspired to watch them again.
Christmas
in Connecticut. Barbara Stanwyck
plays a ladies’ magazine writer who must pretend to be the domestic goddess she
portrays in her column in order to fool her publisher boss. The plot is fun,
the dialogue witty and the chemistry between the hero and
heroine sparkles.
The Bishops Wife. This 1947 classic stars Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta
Young. Cary Grant is spectacular as usual as an angel who comes to help an
Episcopal Bishop remember the important things in life.
A Tale of Two Cities.
The 1935 version with Ronald Colman is excellent. Now, I realize it isn't strictly a Christmas movie and it can be a
bit heavy at times, but some of the story does take place at Christmas. Ronald
Coleman's portrayal of Sydney Carton is very moving and well worth watching.
Miracle on 34th Street – The original 1947 version is a heartwarming classic about
a man on trial for claiming to be Santa Claus and the little girl who believes
in him. This is Natalie Wood’s first film role and the one that shot her to
fame.

Thank you for the movie recommendations! I love Christmas in Conneticut.
I have seen them all , but the last one.
Another favorite of mine is Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Mariam Clooney.
My husband really loves the classics like these. :)

Oh how can you not love Miracle on 34th! The original black and white version. Of course I still have to watch the requisite Rudolph and Frosty. LOL! Thank you so much for stopping by and linking up for Meandering Mondays! Hope that you have a great week!
Can't wait to dive into these to get into the Christmas spirit just as soon as the turkey and pumpkin pie are devoured. ;)
Great movies, and oh wow, so fast...the year's almost over already!
Dropping by your blog today and I agree this time of year is the best time to pop in a classic Christmas video with some hot chocolate. My favorite is It's A Wonderful Life.
I love holiday movies. From reading your description I am almost certain Christmas in Connecticut is one that I saw a long time ago and have not been able to remember the of since then. Thanks for the reminder!

I am now following you the your Blog Hop. When my daughter was still an infant & Bjorn bound, I like many other mommies used to do all my chores while holding her in the carrier. One morning, I was doing laundry. I loaded up a full load of whites & closed the washing machine door & went on to my next chore. My daughter was being uncharacteristically quiet, so it started to worry me a little. I went to the nearest mirror to see what it was that she was doing & found her happily nibbling away on a pair of mommy's dirty underwear. I was mortified. Suffice it to say, I always check her hands & mouth after dropping in a load of laundry from that day forward.
Thanks for the movie recommendations! I haven't seen any of these.
Some classics for the holidays! It's awesome to show some variation, Georgie. I was just updating my Netflix queue. Thanks for sharing and linking up with Countdown in Style! Don't forget to come back on Friday to see if you were featured!
