Last year shortly before Thanksgiving, the Hallmark Channel had a movie that I believed was new (but have since discovered is actually from 2015 and possibly made for the Lifetime Channel rather than Hallmark) that is the best contemporary (current) Christmas ghost story I have seen. It's called "The Spirit of Christmas" and given some dark moments (along with some gorgeous cinematography) seems a departure from Hallmark's usual fare. I wanted to let DS fans now about it here, but I searched TV listings for the remainder of the Holiday season, and the film wasn't scheduled to air again. I thought I would be more prepared this year and post about it before it aired again, as I optimistically supposed it would. Alas, I'm late again - I found out belatedly that "The Spirit of Christmas" aired on Hallmark this year a day or two before Thanksgiving. It is available on DVD and I readily purchased it and hope to re-watch it this Christmas season.
