Christmas Holiday Film Festival
{ Page 8 - Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends }
It was a beautiful {Winter's} day on the Island of Sodor . . .
Pages under construction: Truly a bucket of worms: After saving Christmas movie details over the years, the Christmas Film Festival page was begun 2 December 2024;
within a few weeks, the content had expanded to three pages at 175kb of code; the Hallmark Channel was added on December 30, creating another bucket of worms:
40 collections on DVD with 240+ individual TV movies since 2000. Further growth led to splitting off Page 5 for TV Series holiday episodes, Page 6 for
Lifetime Network, Page 7 for Merchandise, Other Media, Music, and Page 8 for Thomas and Friends.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of IMDb & Amazon DVD links and YouTube movie & trailer/video links to enjoy!
