WHITE CHRISTMAS was full of sings, Bings, dance, military, and a classic case of misunderstanding

We're watching 25 of the best Christmas movies that we haven't seen, according to the internet and this time it's White Christmas. Much more of an ode to the military than we realized. And we liked it. _________________ WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954) synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys' commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put Waverly and his business in the black! _________________ The movies we're going to watch, probably (in no particular order) (and one of them won’t make the cut because we added 8=Bit Christmas) MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947) THE PREACHER’S WIFE (1996) BEST MAN HOLIDAY (2013) JOYEUX NOËL ("Merry Christmas") (2005) ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE (2017) CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945) WHITE REINDEER (2013) A CHRISTMAS TALE (2008) COMFORT AND JOY (1984) LITTLE WOMEN (2019) MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS (1934) TANGERINE (2015) CAROL (2015) Movies watched so far (in a particular order) WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (1995) DR.
