Does "Sound of Music" have a Christmas scene though?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I feel like it does, but I haven't watched it in at least 10 years. Is the "So Long, Farewell" party a Christmas party? Or just a random swanky party?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think movies that aren't explicitly Christmas movies, but which have noteworthy Christmas-related scenes, tend to get thought of as "Christmas movies."
This is why I'm giving a pass to Meet Me in St. Louis as a Christmas movie, but Sound of Music doesn't have a Christmas scene at all. And I have no explanation for The Godfather.

It's just a random party. No Christmas in that movie.

Maybe the horse's head is really a Christmas Present?

I seriously might be conflating "snow on Alps" with "hey, snow = Christmas!"
Hello, Ohioan. Durrr on me.

Because books.
I think it might be that "family time, time off" thing where it's assumed people have the time to sit down and marathon some movies.
"Favorite Things" isn't a Christmas song, but it does mention a whole bunch of winter things -- bright copper kettles, warm woolen mitten, etc.
And the "Farewell" scene is just a swanky party.

When I used to make a display of Christmas movie rentals at the grocery store, I always included Edward Scissorhands, because it seems like a Christmas movie to me.

That's on the On Demand list, too.

I always watch Meet Me in St. Louis at Christmas, too. It's so nostalgic and lovely, and there is the great Christmas scene.
