Christmas at the Movies

For many of us, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without settling down to watch a festive film. Whether it’s the slapstick antics of ‘Home Alone’, the heart-warming wonder of ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ or the mischievous fun of ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’, movies have become part of the way we celebrate the season. In ‘Christmas at the Movies’, J.John takes a close-up look at ten of his favourite Christmas films and offers thoughtful reflections on the themes they explore – from family, generosity, and joy to hope, redemption and love. With his trademark warmth and wit, he uncovers the messages hidden behind the laughter and sentiment, drawing out connections that help us see not only why these movies endure, but also what they can teach us about the deeper meaning of Christmas. Short, engaging and easy to read, this book will stir fond memories of your own festive favourites, spark conversations around the TV, and invite you to reflect afresh on the timeless truths of the season. Beautifully presented and brimming with festive spirit, ‘Christmas at the Movies’ is the perfect stocking filler, a companion for cosy evenings, and a reminder that sometimes the best stories are the ones that bring us back to the heart of Christmas.
