I have to say Charlie Brown only because that is the one I remember most from childhood, and when I see a sad looking pine tree I think of it.
DS would say Ralphiew from Christmas Story. He knows how much I didlike it so when it is on he'll say Mom, hurry up and put on channel ..., then I groan and he laughs. I think I'm gonna start calling him Ralphie.

I like good ol' George Bailey. For some reason I can really relate. We watch it every year, and yes I always cry at the sad part and the end. Dh makes sure I have tissues on hand.
Charlie Brown & gang coms in at a close second, and then Scrooge, and th orginal Grinch.......... I can relate to the Grinch too. lol

Merry Christmas!

I picked Frosty!!

Over the years, I have come to love snowmen!

I will admit that I am not 'normal' when it comes to this... As a child, I never liked Charlie Brown. He creeped me out. It still makes me cringe when I see his Christmas special being advertised--even though I recorded it again for my kids to watch.

Ajrsmom --

You are so right about Charlie Brown being a little creepy! If you ever watched the PBS special on Charles Schultz, you would know why. The artist, although very talented, was a cold, morose man to his family and others. He had a few close friends, but it sounds like they tolerated his quirks.

Thanks for the schedule, Barb--I'm a big kid when it comes to Christmas specials. DH just shakes his head.
DD1 is a Christmas nut too and buys DVDs of all the classic Christmas specials.
