We're watching 25 of the best Christmas movies that we haven't seen, according to the internet and this time Cary Grant is our guardian angel and he performs a LOT of miracles. Too many really. _________________ THE BISHOP’S WIFE (1947) synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: Dejected by his efforts to raise money to build a cathedral, Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) beseeches heaven for guidance, and is visited immediately by Dudley (Cary Grant), who claims to be an angel. Henry is skeptical, then annoyed when Dudley ingratiates himself into the household as his assistant -- and worse, wins the attentions of Henry's long-suffering and kindly wife (Loretta Young). When Dudley continues to intervene in Henry's struggles, the bishop decides to challenge heaven. _________________ The movies we're going to watch, probably (in no particular order) MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947) THE PREACHER’S WIFE (1996) BEST MAN HOLIDAY (2013) SCROOGED (1988) JOYEUX NOËL ("Merry Christmas") (2005) WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954) ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE (2017) CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945) WHITE REINDEER (2013) A CHRISTMAS TALE (2008) COMFORT AND JOY (1984) LITTLE WOMEN (2019) MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS (1934) REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1940) TANGERINE (2015) CAROL (2015) Movies watched so far (in a particular order) WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (1995) DR.
