It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the Christmas specials are on every channel, there's sales in all the catalogs and wreaths adorn a door or two.
Even though its somewhat embarrassing there is a sap in all of us who can't deny their love for at least one timeless Christmas classic. These movies make all the claymation, scary talking animals, and the story lines dripping in cheesy all worthwhile.
Just the other day I learned an interesting Christmas movie fact. First was that when It's A Wonderful Life first came out it was advertised as a romantic comedy rather than the serious drama on Christmas Eve that it was.
And needless to say it flopped. So how did it become the beloved and household Christmas movie that it is today. Well when it became available to play on television it was played on nearly every channel around Christmas time.
Rather than audiences expecting a lighthearted romantic comedy it became known for its somber introspection, wonderful acting, A real American Christmas Carol so to speak.
