Air Max 2009 Movies that Put Us in the Christmas S

It’s a Wonderful Life
While bordering dangerously on sentimentalism – with its guardian angel subplot and its predictably happy ending – Frank Capra’s film is sprinkled with funny moments and holiday cheer. The film also reminds us that Christmas is the time to reexamine our lives and learn what truly matters.
The 1955 and 1994 remakes explore the same theme. However, it is the original that remains ingrained in our memories with an enchanting 1940s New York City dressed for the holidays and the most authentic Santa in the history of film. Edmund Gwenn’s performance is truly moving and devoid of sentimentality, and Natalie Wood brings to life the story of a little girl who learns that dreams do come true if you believe in them.
From timeless classics to contemporary Christmas comedies, some holiday movies have become part of our yearly Christmas rituals.

A no-nonsense single mother, she has raised her daughter, Susan (Natalie Wood), to resist all beliefs and fairy tales.

For most people in the Western world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Christmas is about believing in something beyond yourself, whether it’s God,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Santa Claus or mankind’s ability to do good things.

Every year, when the winter holiday season approaches, most activities take a backseat to decorating the house, buying gifts and spending time with the loved ones.
