Which have you seen this season?
What are your favorites, old or recent?
I saw old Andy Williams Christmas shows when I was on tour a few weeks ago. Right now Audra is singing on WTTW.
I love the Amy Grant Christmas special many years ago and of course Julie's THE SOUND OF CHRISTMAS.

Glebb, do you mean those made for TV Christmas specials with variety guests, like the Andy Williams Christmas show?
If so, then I just watched one on PBS...the Lawrence Welk show. I don't know what year it was, but his grandchildren were still pretty young!
If you mean a tv movie special, then I just watched the "Year Without a Santa Claus" special on the Family channel. Can't let the holiday pass without SnowMeiser and HeatMeiser!

She liked the tinkle-tinkle sound when the dog-reindeer's feet hit the snow.
And she liked whenever the people of Who-ville would sing.

Posted: 12/24/05 at 1:12amI really don't watch a lot of T.V., since I'm a computer addict...but my math teacher put on two movies for us today. They were A Charlie Brown Christmas (my favorite!) and The Grinch cartoon, which we only watched for about ten minutes before we had to leave for an assembly.
What the puck?!

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

I miss the Andy Williams Christmas shows (this dates me....). I always watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and cry at the end each year.
Love "The Grinch"
and I also enjoy "A Christmas Carol" (original)

my favorite is "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street." I'm 17, but hey, it's good! :)
In my family, it's a tradition to watch that every year after Christmas Eve dinner. can't wait to watch it tonight! lol

24 hours of "A Christmas Story" on TBS...started about 20 minutes ago...if you're upset about missing that first 20 minutes, fear not...it's on 10 more times.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 10:29pm'The Year Without A Santa Claus' is the alpha and omega of Christmas specials as far as I'm concerned. It is nothing short of perfection.
