A relatively new tradition (just ten years in the making) for me and my GF is to sit in bed and watch White Christmas and Last Holiday. Depending upon the time of day, we will either have breakfast in bed or just hot chocolate. [I wouldn’t mind one year pushing the play time back a few hours and having wine in bed.]
If you haven’t seen Last Holiday, please take it as a recommendation from me. See it at least once. But it’s not about Christmas as “holiday” in this case means “vacation”. But we saw this movie for the first time at Christmas in 2006. It stars Queen Latifah as a woman who through tragedy elects to give up her fears. It is essentially a romantic comedy though the romance part is kind of unrequited. The movie does seem to evoke Christmas in that there is a lot of snow and Queen Latifah looks gorgeous in an all red gown...and, it has a similar kind of “personal change” story which is the heart of both A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life.
