Movie #2143 "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" (Hallmark) I loved this --- the theatricality of it, the stage business which included rehearsing and rewriting , the appearance of ghost actors, the improv of it all , and the creativity of it --- very different and it worked with me. I didn't 't know there was a controversy over who actually wrote this famous poem --- in this movie, in this town, at christmastime, a theatre group decides to put the supposed writer on trial for stealing from another. Cool idea, well done. Gets a 5 from me out of 5.
