Television has replaced the fireplace as the focal point for gatherings of family and friends. But meaningful holiday observations can happen there, too. Here are some conventional (and not-so-conventional) movies to watch during this holiday season.

These films were intentionally chosen for spiritual or moral challenges they pose. There are choices for the religious and non-religious viewer. All can deepen appreciation for the holiday season. The films are listed in alphabetic order not in order of quality or preference (my choice for the three best holiday classics have been separated at the end).

Every attempt was made to choose quality films, technically as well as artistically, so these can be considered the best. And all of the movies on this list are available through the South Central Library System which includes all public libraries in Madison and nearby communities. Enjoy.
