I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas Just Like the Ones I Never Knew

       My all-time, all-around, all-everything favorite movie would have to be, and will probably forever be, White Christmas.  This was the first film produced and released by VistaVision, yes, in color.  White Christmas, the song by Irving Berlin, also happens to be the most popular song ever! True story, this is.  It isn't me being biased..although that's basically what a blog is...Anywho, the story follow Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, entertainment legends who worked their way up together and achieved fame together after being best friends, more so brothers, since fighting along each other in World War II.  Combat in military was also where Phil saved Bob's life and never allows him to live it down.  They then meet two sisters, both very attractive, of a guy they were in the army with, and these ladies have their own act. After lots of fun music, dancing, comedic relief, romancing, and attempts of Phil and Judy(the younger, brown-eyed sister) hooking up Bob and Betty(the older, blue-eyed sister) they end up putting on a show in the barn of the inn in Vermont owned by their former General on a very special white Christmas.  And of course, just like any good story, the boy gets the girl, even better, both get the girls. Boy, did they have to work for 'em, though!  You will probably cry, laugh, and "aww", and every piece of heart melted by this true piece of art will be far more than worth it.
 May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white.
