The definition of a Christmas movie has changed somewhat over time. The story of the birth of Christ, the source of the holiday, has
given way to a wide variety of films that either emphasize the meaning of the
holiday or take place around it. One such film is Lady on a Train, which,
while taking place around and on Christmas, really never touches on the
holiday, or the true meaning of it, except for a very brief scene with gift-giving.
