When snow covers the streets, holiday lights brighten the trees and Santa-themed apparel is included in your bedtime wardrobe, you know that Christmas is in the air!
Another glorious sign that the Old St. Nick is creeping around the corner is when your evenings are filled with watching your favorite holiday films! I love turning on the television to see a lineup of classic holiday movies waiting for me—each bringing happy memories, valuable life lessons or a playlist of carols I can sing along with. (It’s simply marvelous.)
To spread some cinematic holiday cheer around the office, I asked my fellow BMSDers what their favorite holiday flicks were. Of course, they didn’t disappoint. (And now I want to watch all of these movies.)
