This one likely doesn't need much explanation, but here's a bit of it anyway. My family just watched "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and that other girl (the one with the brown eyes...) It's a pretty entertaining old flick, which involves an unseasonably warm December in Vermont. And no, a white Christmas is not looking promising here in PA this year... we'll just have to make do. But the film features some snappy song and dance routines along with some witty one-liners:
"Well, now, isn't this cozy? Boy, girl, boy, girl..."
"You're not exactly Superman, but you are awfully available..."
"In some ways, you're far superior to my cocker spaniel."
And of course, the finale is the titular song. Here's Bing Crosby's famous / classic version (don't believe me? The Guinness Book of World Records cites it as the best selling single of all time):
And here's a spiffy version by The Drifters, which you may recognize from Home Alone:
"...and may all your Christmases be white..."
