Most people probably do not consider this a Christmas movie unless it is shown at Christmas time.
If I remember correctly, it is about a family going to the World's Fair.
Mother and her daughters.

My favorite actress in Meet me in St. Louis is Margaret O'Brien who plays Tootie Smith.
The movie starts with the Summer of 1903 and continues through Christmas.

It is a fun movie with all the romances and antics of the girls and their beaus.

When I watch this movie, I can't wait for it to get to my favorite part. When Judy Garland sings to Margaret O'Brien, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". This is what the movie is all about to me.
