Blossoms in the Dust (1941)
After the tragic suicide of her adopted sister, who couldn't live with the knowledge that she was born illegitimate, Edna Gladney makes it her mission to care for and find homes for every "unwanted" child in the state of Texas. But, in 1900s America, this task is difficult if not impossible. Even so, Edna rises to the occasion, ardently defending her children against the naysayers and critics who claim illegitimate babies are of no use to the world. But, even after years of success, part of Edna's quest still eludes her. She's unsure of what it is but she has a feeling that it will draw her back to the heartache that began her work so long ago.
Based on the true story of an amazing Pro-Life woman, Blossoms in the Dust is a perfect holiday movie for anyone in the fight for life. Starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon this film deserves a place on your shelf and in your holiday festivities.

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
George
Bailey really had a wonderful life. Dearly loved, friend to everyone, happy
husband to a doting wife and cherished father to adoring children, there was
seemingly nothing that George could want for. And yet, every man reaches a
tipping point when he begins to wonder how much of an impact he’s really had on
the world. If his life has really meant something or if it’s worth anything at
all. Facing this quandary on a chilly Christmas Eve George begins to suspect
that the world would be better off without him and nearly makes that thought an
unchangeable reality when an unlike hero, Clarence the wingless angel, steps in
to save him and teach George the simple truth that every life has value and
purpose.

Christmas is a classic that hundreds of people have watched and rewatched over
