What's Your Favorite TV Christmas Special?
Elissa Jarvis, Lead Reporter Sunday, December 04, 2011
In my house, its not Christmas time until the Grinch is on TV. I don’t mean the Jim Carrey Movie version; I mean the old 1966 animated one with Boris Karloff as the voice of the Grinch. Christmas time is when TV runs rampant with Christmas specials, and I love them.
I remember watching with my family as a kid and they hold the same wonder as an adult. I love watching the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser get into fights in The Year Without a Santa Claus. I will always feel a soft spot in my heart for that little tree in A Charlie Brown Christmas. And while it makes me crazy because my sisters play the song ad nauseum, deep down I will always love Alvin and that stupid Hula Hoop. I love some of the newer Christmas specials like Shrek the Halls too. Even though it doesn’t get played anymore, my favorite is still A Muppet Family Christmas, because watching the Swedish Chef try to cook Big Bird always makes me laugh.
So what’s your favorite TV Christmas special?
