Christmas in March?

On Friday, March 14, 2014... it's Christmas on TCM!

 

 

See a double-feature:

Christmas in Connecticut at 8 PM and

A Christmas Story at 10 PM!

 

TCM is airing both of these Christmas Comedy Movies - during a night of Movies about food.


Christmas in Connecticut:
(Available on DVD)

  Elizabeth Lane is a homemaking specialist, who can't boil water. She writes about life on a Connecticut farm with her husband and child, which is all a sham, and publishes recipes, as her own, that she obtains from her chef friend, Felix Bassenak. 

When Elizabeth is forced to spend the Holidays in the Country... pretend she is Married, a Mother, Homemaking Extraordinaire, plus provide a family holiday for a war hero Jefferson Jones, and Jonathan Yardley, the magazine's publisher... then it becomes a Christmas, no one is sure to forget!


A Christmas Story:
 (Available on DVD)

This story is all about Ralphie, his family, and growing up in Indiana, in the 1940's. The one dream for this schoolboy- is getting a Red Ryder air rifle for Christmas. As Ralphie pleads his case for the B.B. Gun, everyone seems to have the same response - from his Mother, Teacher, and even Santa... "You'll shoot your eye out."

A Pink Bunny-Suit, a Lamp shaped as a Leg, and much more...
equal a Christmas full of Surprises! 

(Please note: A Christmas Story does contain Language.)

 

 

I thought all of you Christmas Movie Lovers, like myself, would enjoy this special presentation! I especially love Christmas in Connecticut! How 'bout you?
