Yes that’s another good one. I am also a relic from the previous century! I was around when “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “The Grinch who Stole Christmas” first premiered on network television.
Ah, you were just a bit before my time. I’m a Gen Xer and grew up watching A Christmas Story when it first aired on tv, which I think is another great example of a happy holiday movie. I can’t believe I mentioned The Muppet Christmas Carol before it, hah. Yeah, I liked A Christmas Story when I was a kid, but I love it now that I’m older and get the more adult references. My wife and I keep it in the regular Christmas viewing rotation along with A Charlie Brown Christmas, which in my opinion are perfect when you want to feel the ol’ winter warm & fuzzies. They’re so comforting in a way.
I was lot bit before your time. I remember working as a projectionist for the University of Utah (a part time gig) and showing “A Christmas Story” for one of my film classes - the first time I ever saw it, and I really enjoyed it. I think anything can really be considered a Christmas movie if it is something you watch each year and enjoy. I still am amazed by the quality of the music in “Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol,” a movie I rewatch every year, and just recently got to purchase the sheet music (which only came out a few years ago).
