What could there possibly be about Christmas that needs to be “saved”? Christmas isn't dead, not by a long shot. But when in the movies Santa Claus is in trouble, Christmas is in trouble and must be “saved.” Explore 53 reasons for saving Christmas in this lighthearted collection of 228 films from theatrical releases to television movies and specials to episodes of television series.

Santa Claus is in trouble! Who will save Christmas? This A-to-Z guide to holiday films, television movies and series specials provides cast, credits, production information and commentary for 228 cinema Christmases that were almost ruined by villains, monsters, spirits, secularism, greed, misanthropy or elf error--but were saved by helpful animals, magic snowmen, selfless children or compassionate understanding. Reviews and references are included.

William D. Crump is a retired physician. He lives in Madison, Tennessee.
