The 2012 Christmas season got off to a nostalgic start at the Redford Theatre and Michigan Theater.
At the Redford on November 30 and December 1, the 1983 comedy A Christmas Story had fun with the adventurous 1940s Indiana childhood of little Ralphie. On December 1, the Michigan screened the 1944 musical Meet Me in St. Louis, taking viewers back to the eventful life of Judy Garland and family in St. Louis in the early 1900s.
And at both theaters, Christmas trees bloomed.

The Michigan looks good. I like the blue lights on the three
It was another fun Christmas season at the Michigan and Redford, including White Christmas (both theaters), Meet Me in St. Louis, A Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, and the Redford theater organ concert (always one of the highlights of my Christmas season).
