The Way They Were at Christmas: Crimbo Films of the Past, Present and Future

This week on The Way They Were, Gráinne and Chantal hang the tinsel, spike the mulled wine, and take a sleigh ride through Christmas past, present and future via Crimbo movies. From Judy Garland’s golden-age yearning, through Jimmy Stewart’s moral reckonings, to Cate Blanchett’s ice-cool elegance and Alicia Silverstone teaching us that even Netflix makes mistakes .

Along the way, Chantal reveals herself to be a Guardian Angel sent directly from Heaven to revive our Christmas spirits, while Gráinne is a big-city lady who’s forgotten the true meaning of Christmas and must be gently but firmly guided back to her Irish roots.

Merry Christmas. God bless us, every one.
