Jingle sells: This week's video sales chart is chock-full of holiday-themed tales, with the emphasis on kids' stuff but with a couple of grown-up titles as well. It's a Wonderful Life, the vintage heart-tugger with Jimmy Stewart, climbs to No. 3. And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are joined this week by Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. Below the Top Ten, there's still more Christmas cheer unseen on this chart, including Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (see review, page 75), Sing Along Songs: Very Merry Christmas, and Jiminy Cricket's Christmas. The adults, meanwhile, are watching White Christmas, the 1954 Irving Berlin musical with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. LAST RENTALS WEEKS IN WEEK RELEASE
