Revisit the charming holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street, part of a special seasonal film series at the New York Public Library. The movie tells the story of Kris Kringle, a man who becomes a hit with customers and employees at Macy's Herald Square after he takes on the job of playing Santa Claus. The problem, of course, is that Kris actually believes that he's Saint Nick, and, after purposely failing a mental examination, is recommended for permanent commitment to Bellevue Hospital. A formal hearing for Kris' release tests the City's Christmas spirit. The movie begins at 2pm. For more information, visit nypl.org.
