Edmund Gwenn and Natalie Wood bring great charm to 'Miracle on 34th Street.' Handout art
On Christmas Eve, your choices include classic movies, holiday music and a lot of reruns. A few highlights:PBS? ?Antiques Roadshow? replays hour two of its stop in Orlando at 8 p.m. The goodies include an animator?s plaster model of Geppetto for the 1940 Disney classic ?Pinocchio? and a painting by Fern Coppedge. The show originally aired in 2008.
NBC gives you James Stewart in ?It?s a Wonderful Life? at 8. Donna Reed and Thomas Mitchell co-star. Frank Capra directed the 1946 fantasy, which wasn?t a big hit when it was released. Oh, well: It?s not always about the box-office returns. Time has been very kind to this beloved movie.
AMC delivers ?Miracle on 34th Street? at 7 and 9:15 p.m. The 1947 classic features Maureen O?Hara, the very young Natalie Wood and the marvelous Edmund Gwenn in his Oscar-winning performance as Santa Claus.
Another young performer, Macaulay Culkin, carried ?Home Alone? to box-office glory in 1990. ABC Family replays that holiday favorite at 9. Young Macaulay was a gifted kid.
You?ll find James Stewart at his most charming in ?The Shop Around the Corner? at 8 on TCM. Margaret Sullavan and Frank Morgan are part of a first-rate cast in director Ernst Lubitsch?s romantic comedy.
The best-loved holiday movie these days may be ?A Christmas Story.? TBS starts a 24-hour marathon showing at 8. All hail Peter Billingsley as Ralphie.
No one performs Christmas music quite like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. PBS showcases the huge choir in a special at 9. Jane Seymour and baritone Nathan Gunn take part.
