I will occasionally catch bits of them when the wife has them on. Can't say I've ever watched one start-to-finish. Still, it's a seasonal thing that gets you thinking about the holidays.

I used to watch until Hallmark caved to the left. You want true family oriented movies without agenda attached. Check this out www.greatamericanfamily.com/ |

Two of my all time favorites Christmas movies are the B&W original version of The Bishop's Wife. That and the Alistair Sim's B&W version of A Christmas Carol are hard to beat. I don't watch too much TV otherwise.

Check this out www.greatamericanfamily.com/I watch them as well but tried the other one more religious oriented movies but for me both the directing and actors left a lot to be desired just found that other channels name pure flix

There are some still good Hallmark Christmas movies but too many with the same theme, just different actors. We started last year getting a collection of TV series of the 50s and 60s that had a Holiday Theme and watching them along with many classics we grew up with.

We enjoy watching the Christmas movies, even occasionally when they broadcast them in July.
But what I miss are the variety shows when they had their Christmas specials. Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, etc. I have a video of a Jack Benny skit where he’s trying to buy a Christmas gift for Rochester and he drives the salesman crazy. I’m not sure but I think the salesman was Mel Blanc.

The fake reverb and the constant harmonica accompaniment can get a bit much but in small doses great fun especially if you have the Sing A Long gatefold record album handy!
