I’ve got my favorite Christmas movies that we watch every year. But sometimes a I need a new one. Back in the day before video and DVD, we had to watch whatever the networks chose to run, and whenever they broadcast. When video players came on the market it was a better option — but you still had to set a timer to record the movie to watch later. We get more choices now. Here’s a list to welcome the season:
