Feels...like the time of night where it's almost time for bed, the fire in the fireplace is beginning to die and the house seems just a little cold.

Although it’s really only peripherally about the Christmas season, White Christmas is still a holiday classic. And deservedly so.

White Christmas isn't as delightful as its supposed predecessor, but if for no other reason, it's worth seeing for a gorgeously simple arrangement of the title tune, which Crosby croons accompanied only by a windup music box.
