Boy do we need a little Christmas this year, and luckily, the fun has begun! Lifetime and Hallmark have already started their holiday fare. And I was there, end of October, just waiting for something to take me out of the doldrums of Covid seclusion and election and transport me into a fantasy world of tinsel, cookies and people sitting at a perfectly-decorated holiday table together not worrying about catching a virus as they opened their mouths to eat that freshly-baked gingerbread cookie.
And of course the streamers are chock full of Christmas and holiday movies and specials. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning searching through all the channels marveling at all the Christmas content just ready for me to binge on.
There are lots of types of holiday movies - comedies, romance, fantasy drama, religious, animated and more. And in 2020 thanks to the over prevalence of stations and streaming networks you can find them just about anywhere. Ah, I can remember the days of walking into Blockbuster to rent a copy of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas or Home Alone- actually not the latter because I think every video collection had that movie in it. It was a big deal to pop a movie into the VCR, pop up the corn and sit around and watch it. With your mom and pop.
Today, these movies - content in general - seem to be considered more disposable as there is just so much of it but as a filmmaker I appreciate all the talent and work that goes into making each one of them. So, we should enjoy and savor all of them. Make the joy of these movies part of the season to help transport you away to a world where Covid doesn't exist and hope runs eternal. After all, watching a movie during this pandemic is a "normal" that we can do now just as we did in years past.

You May Like an Interview with Danica McKellar:
Though our other holiday traditions may be tweaked this year, watching movies as part of the holiday season remains the same. So shut out the rest of the world and let yourself dream and relax and just be if only for a few hours. That is the spirit of the holidays, now more than ever.
