Holiday Films On DVD
Can you believe it’s that time of year again? I have compiled a list of holiday films that are available in the Tarver Media Center. Some of these titles are holiday classics, and some just feature holiday scenes that I consider worthy of this list. Many of these DVDs are on display on the shelves just to the left of the Media Center entrance (they can still be checked out even though they are on display). While I was compiling this list I noted some omissions that I am going to add to our DVD wish list. So far I have been unable to find any Hanukkah or Kwanzaa movies. If any of you would like to suggest a holiday film, then please feel free to send me an email.
