Movie Rating
Holiday Inn is one of my favorite holiday films, and, in my opinion, infinitely better than White Christmas. Holiday Inn is the film that the song 'White Christmas' first appeared in. One of the reasons that Holiday Inn might not be as popular is there is a song/scene that's considered to be politically incorrect, and when the film is aired on television, it's taken out. When that song/scene is taken out, the movie becomes slightly confusing.
It's also unique in that, at the end, it gives a behind the scenes look at how the film was made on a set, in the guise that they're filming a movie within a movie. Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are completely amusing together, and really make the movie worthwhile.

The only Christmas story
There have been hundreds of adaptations of this book, and yet this will be the only classic version. It is the original redemption novella. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a self-interested man absolving himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. With A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens captured the essence of the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my Smashbomb family and friends! Hopefully, we forge even deeper friendships in 2019. I would love that. Reach out and say hello. Or just watch a great holiday film.

Stay safe everyone!
