A Very Merry Holiday Movie Guide is an ideal gift or stocking stuffer for the Christmas movie lover in your life or a welcome addition to your family’s holiday traditions.
I thought I'd seen quite a lot of the Christmas movies that are out there, but wow. This has opened my eyes.
This is a fascinating look at all the different styles of Christmas movie (and I know what I'll be doing all this Christmas!) along with themed activities and recipes, and a brief history of Christmas movies. There's at least a hundred movies here, divided into different categories like the Baker's Christmas, the City Lover's Christmas and the Best of the Rest. The illustrations are cute and charming and match the tone perfectly.
The only complaint/suggestion I have; since the movies are coming from various different streaming and live services, it would be nice to have a little note to say 'Netflix' or 'DVD' or 'Airs on (network)' for each title. That would make it much easier to track down the titles that interest the reader. But it's a small thing, and of course a list like that would go out of date quite quickly.
I really enjoyed this. I'll be coming back to it before Christmas to plan my movie nights (and possibly at other times as well!) A fantastic read that I highly recommend.
