Timeless!
A friend recently reminded me in 1983 when this film was released it only managed to make just over $19 million at the US box office. Movies that beat it in 1983 included High Road to China, Class, My Tutor and Two of a Kind. Ever heard of any of those? Didn't think so.

So how, 35 years later, does this film still endure so much it is played on a 24 hour loop and several US TV stations the few days leading up to Christmas?

Plenty to love. Relateable, enduring characters. Is Santa real? Cute and fun. Not politically correct. Lots of memorable scenes and unforgettable moments.

I would say there is a very short list of holiday films I try and make time for annually, but this is definitely one of them!

Pretty sure I've seen Class (if it's the movie with Andrew McCarthy and Jacqueline Bisset) and definitely seen High Road to China at least twice...

Book Rating
far too sweet for me.
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!

And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!

It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)

It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?

So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .

3 stars
