5 Perfect Christmas Films For A Christmas Marathon To On FlickCall.

The Christmas season is not exactly a 'merry' one this year due to the Corona pandemic. People aren't able to meet with their friends and family and attend Christmas parties together. The streets are almost empty and the Christmas lights lack the smiles they usually wear on their sleeves. And while it's heartbreaking to see people locked inside during a festive season and lack the usual Christmas spirit, one cannot say that this is not what was anticipated. The gloominess is fitting for a year that only saw death, disease, and despair.

But as with all bad things, the year has also come to an end and people are slowly trying to lift their spirits in various ways. Some have already started going out with all the precautions but it's not the same because people are also somewhat scared.
