3x3 Reviews of Christmas Stories on Netflix: A Movie, A Documentary and A Web-TV Series

The holiday break afforded me more time to watch and binge on Netflix of movies, mini-series and documentaries that are listed in my watch list for over a year now. Here is my review of Ghost of Girlfriends Past (movie), Home for Christmas Season 2 (web-TV series) and Holiday Movies That Made Us: The Night Before Christmas (documentary).


Holiday Movies That Made Us : The Night Before Christmas (Frost and Volk-Weiss, Netflix 2020) - A family favorite, it was fascinating to know the behind the scenes and the back stories of Jack and Sally. They are the one true pairing. Next to It's A Wonderful Life, this dark fantasy movie will remain a must-see movie at Christmas time.


Ghost of Girlfriends Past (Waters, Lucas and Moore, New Line Cinema 2009) - Why did I even bother streaming this movie?  I should have invested my time over one of the Hallmark Holiday movies in Netflix instead. All the talent of the good actors wasted in a movie that failed to put the magic and a new insight to a beloved Christmas novel.


Home for Christmas Season 2 (Sorensen, Netflix 2020) - Wonderful! Season 2 continues to show the complexities and the imperfections in families, relationships and one's personal journey to self worth. Johanne comes full circle with an ending that affirms how love conquers all, indeed!

So, there. You know which show to take time on. Have a restful holiday break!
