In the post Favorite family Christmas movies, one of the video shorts we mention there is this classic from 1945. We first discovered it as an extra on the DVD for Christmas in Connecticut (1945), a more familiar Christmas classic starring Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, and Sydney Greenstreet. This lesser-known video is a heart-warming, Oscar-winning short video set in the old West inspired by the story of the magi (IMDB). Candace and I look forward to watching Star in the Night each year. Because it’s only 22 minutes long, it’s easy to fit in when we don’t have time for a longer Christmas activity. And now it’s on youTube, so we don’t have to fiddle with the DVD remote.
