Music Box Christmas sing-a-long

Frank Capra nostalgia and group singing collide with the Music Box's Christmas double feature and sing-a-long, Dec. 19-24. Per tradition, the movies are "White Christmas" and "It's a Wonderful Life," and each showing is preceding by a round of Christmas carols, led by Santa Claus himself.
