Let (Judy) Garland light up your Christmas

The late Judy Garland and her guests shine in the 'Judy Garland Show Collection,' now on DVD.



Let (Judy) Garland light up your Christmas

By Chris Castillo



Special to the News

‘Twas days before Christmas

And all through the land,

People were searching for toys

And gifts that were grand.



A DVD or Bluray may be the way to go,

But think a bit first.

Get a gift that will glow.



Like garland on a Christmas tree,

Your best bet is Judy Garland, you see.

Her collection is available for the first time,

Filled with stars and extras,

So fun, it’s a crime.



You can see a young Barbra Streisand belt out a tune

In Vol. 2, if you purchase it soon.

Like an angel she sings in this black and white show

And don’t miss Garland, Streisand and Ethel Merman croon.



Garland’s holiday special is also quite grand

With Liza Minnelli and Mel Torme’ at hand.

It’s like holidays in front of the fire,

Warm, and filled with Christmas desires.

The Judy Garland Collection is super

A 4-disc set with bloopers.



The comic in you might want “The Goods” instead

You’ll laugh so hard your face might turn red.

Or get “Transformers II” if you haven’t seen that

It’s awesome to watch the bad guys go splat!



No matter the gift you buy this holiday season

Make sure you celebrate for the right reason.

Merry Christmas to every Port Arthur News fan

May the New Year bring blessings to you and your clan.
