It's the first day of winter and half the province seems to be underwater. I think most people are dreaming of a dry Christmas more than anything at the moment. But I think many of us secretly hope for at least a dusting of snow...snow... snow.
White Christmas is definitely a sentimental choice for me. I watched this so many times growing up and still can recite the dialogue right along with Bing and Rosemary. Sure, it's as sappy as Vermont maple syrup but that's why I love it. It's an explosion of music, colourful costumes and holiday cheer.
As a bonus check out Holiday Inn, the original film that introduced the song White Christmas. It has Bing, Berlin songs and Fred Astaire. (But you'll want to take a pass on the unfortunate blackface number for Lincoln's birthday.)
Fun fact: The Vermont inn from White Christmas is the remodeled Connecticut inn set from Holiday Inn.
