PATRON PICKS--Holiday Favorites

Happy Holidays!  Do you have a favorite Holiday book that you read every year?  Or a favorite Holiday movie that you watch over and over again?  

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories and I love the movie version, too (the one with George C. Scott).  Other movies I watch over and over are A Christmas Story (a family favorite!), The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant & Loretta Young), and The Homecoming (the movie that inspired the popular series, The Waltons).

How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Polar Express are big favorites with our patrons.  Here are some other Patron Picks...
