April's Christmas Countdown: #6 White Christmas

I know Tiff already included this in her countdown, but this is a holiday classic. How could I not include it? Usually I don't watch the whole movie, just that part at the end where everyone comes together for the show and it's all touching and cute. And yes, very kitch, but that's what Christmas is for, right? Right. Also, some of the best Christmas music ever comes from this soundtrack (or Holiday Inn, depending how you look at it). Maybe this year I'll even watch the whole thing!
In any case, I plan to spend at least one snowy night snuggled in my living room reading a book while listening to the record. (Yes, I mean an actual vinyl record, not a CD)

#5. White Christmas

Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen sing and dance their way into the fifth spot...

My Commentary:  Known as one of the most influential crooners of the century, Bing Crosby stars in this wonderful musical.  White Christmas was the top grossing films in 1954 and was nominated for an Oscar in Original Song.  Although many may label this holiday favorite as "kitch", I believe it has an enormous amount of sentimentality.  The holidays wouldn't be complete without it!
