Christmas Movies

I love to sit in comfort At home watching TV I watch my favorite movies The one's that work for me It's not a Christmas movie Just because there's snow That's something folks at Hallmark Should be told, so someone knows To me, A Christmas movie Has Santa and a gift It has a Christmas message It gives people a lift Getting lost in a big snowstorm Finding love in a small town Doesn't make it Christmas In fact, it brings me down I want music, Bing and Danny Scrooge , Kris Kringle, silent night I want movies I grew up with I want films in black and white I watch movies that will touch me Make me feel what's deep inside I want to feel the Christmas spirit I want shepherds to abide A Christmas film is something I want to sit and watch each year I want to understand what they are saying I want the message to be clear Entertain me, make me feel it Films traditional and new I want to travel backwards To remember Christmas past....don't you A real good Christmas movie Brings memories into my mind Of sitting down with Grandpa Things Hallmark doesn't find So, even though it starts a fire No matter what you see It may be a Christmas film to you But, it may not be to me

I have to agree withyou on this one Roger. I am so happy they still play the classic older films everyone loves. I love introducing the grandkids to the older classic movies. Bravo! : )

"It's not a Christmas movie Just because there's snow That's something folks at Hallmark Should be told, so someone knows" I think you should go to Hollywood and make sure. I have seen so many sappy Christmas movies that are so contrived, and silly, and do not even include the singing dancing and black and white we are looking for. Thanks for the excellent reminder, Roger.

And who wants Christmas in July anyway, Hallmark needs to make more summer movies. John
