Christmas with the Kranks<br />
A Christmas Story<br />
Holiday Movies and Books<br />
Christmas with the Kranks is a 2004 comedy film directed by Joe Roth<br />
and starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. The screenplay by Chris<br />
Columbus is based on the 2001 novel Skipping Christmas by John<br />
Grisham.<br />
It is an amazing comedy staring Tim Allen. It’s about a family who decides<br />
not to celebrate Christmas as their daughter is not coming for the<br />
holidays, but then she decides to come. The family tries to make everything<br />
perfect for when their daughter and her fiancé come. Throughout<br />
this time they discover what Christmas is all about.<br />
A Christmas Story is a 1983 American Christmas comedy film based on<br />
the short stories of author Jean Shepherd, including material from his<br />
books. It was directed by Bob Clark. The film has since become a holiday<br />
classic and is known to be shown numerous times on television during<br />
the Christmas season, usually in a 24-hour marathon.<br />

“A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas<br />
This is my absolute favourite Christmas storybook. It is basically a<br />
celebration of Dylan Thomas' childhood and especially Christmas in a<br />
small Welsh town. It contains some of the most charming and endearing<br />
stories ever written on the subject. There should be a mandate<br />
to make it compulsory for everyone with childhood memories to<br />
read this delightful piece of lyrical writing at least once every Christmas.<br />
