Can be any kind, be it Christmas-themed episodes of your favorite TV shows, or just those one-hour specials.

And of course Chuck Jones' Grinch, but that goes without saying.
(Sorry, not a big Peanuts fan. And those Rankin-Bass specials always creeped me out). :P

Yeah. Couldn't resist. I'm just glad I was the first to exploit the opportunity.

Here's one we used to look forward to every year when we were kids....haven't seen it in such a long time.

It always bugs me that people trash "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I love it. Peanuts cartoons always get accused of being depressing, but it's a hell of a lot less depressing than  "Frosty" or "Rudolph."

Well, this past Christmas, this classic Twilight Zone Christmas episode was our entertainment for the evening:

It's an excellent story that, as with the rest of the series, presents a unique twist on what would otherwise be a rather cliched subject. I later discovered the 1980s remake of that episode, which was pretty good too, albeit with a slightly different spin on everything:

I still love "A Charlie Brown Christmas"....it wouldn't seem like Christmas without it,IMO.

I'm indifferent to it myself (and Peanuts in general. I prefer Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side and Pogo Possum). Mostly due to overexposure.

Fact:The first full length episode of The Simpsons (not the Tracey Allman shorts) was the Christmas Special in 1989.

Just about every South Park Christmas special, but to me it just isn't Christmas until I've seen Mr Hankey's Christmas Classics

Good call.

Me too.
And the Grinch,of course.
