Özet:
Whether we love or hate it, Christmas has always played a special role in the cinema and Christmas movies like _It's a Wonderful Life_, _Miracle on 34th Street_ and _When Harry Met Sally_ have a special place in popular affections. Written in entertaining and illuminating style, and giving a brand new view of Christmas and its rituals, this is a gift of a book for anyone interested in cinema.
