Annotated Miracle on 34th Street: Lisa’s Home Bijou

November 19, 2019 by Lisa Grable 7 Comments

In Miracle on 34th Street (1947) a little girl meets Santa Claus in New York City and he has to prove he really is Santa. A Christmas classic! Lisa's Home Bijou.

Film Festival: Contemporary Christmas The Santa Clause (1994) is a contemporary Christmas classic film that does a great job of contrasting reality (office meetings, custody hearings, principal’s office) with the fantasy of Santa’s world.
