When I was growing up, we had a limited number of Christmas movies on VHS that we could watch at home. So it stood to reason that those tapes took frequent trips through the VCR during the holiday season. We had a variety of cartoons, like
The Flintstones Christmas,
Frosty the Snowman, and
The Night Before Christmas in addition to Claymation classics like
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
And of course, there was
White Christmas. My favorite.
I have fond memories of singing along to Sisters with my younger brother Charlie (since you gotta do what you gotta do when you're the only girl) and admiring the beautiful dresses worn by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen during the final scene.
Even now, watching
White Christmas makes it feel more
like Christmas. So for the cozy holiday memories it unlocks, I am grateful.
