Today's feature is shorter, Reader's Digest-style version of the 1947 Christmas classic from 20th Century-Fox's "Hour of Stars" television program directed by Disney vet("The Love Bug", "In Search of the Castaways") Robert Stevenson. Thomas Mitchell(Uncle Billy from "It's A Wonderful Life", Scarlett O'Hara's dad from "Gone With The Wind", also in "Only Angels Have Wings" and "Tales of Manhattan") plays Kris Kringle while Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt" veterans Macdonald Carey and Teresa Wright play the John Payne and Maureen O'Hara roles. It's a good way to revisit this classic in about half the running time.

Bingo!

Just what I needed.

One of my favorites, the original, not the shortened version. We always watch it on Thanksgiving to get us in the holiday mood. Won’t say how many times we watched it since Thanksgiving this year. Watched it again Tuesday while wrapping gifts.

Today’s movies are “A Christmas Story” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

(Uncle Billy was Scarlett’s father, my, my, I never knew that)

Probably the saddest moment in the history of Christmasdom...

Not to worry, anyone. He comes back to life 3 minutes later.

Personally I chose “Freedom to Fascism” by Aaron Russo.

I love the one with Maureen O’Hara and the late Natalie Wood as a child. There is something very special about that movie.

My wife and I watch ‘’A Christmas Carol’’ every year. The 1951 version with Alistair Sim as "Old Scratch ''. There's none better.
