Don’t Miss the Christmas Classics

The Year Without a Santa Claus … my all time fave.

Every year, my brother-in-law sends this to me, reminding me of all the great shows and movies we can view as a family during the season. We watched Arthur’s Christmas on demand a couple of days ago, and it put us all in the mood! It’s a new classic. If you haven’t seen it, check it out.

Remember when you had to check TV Guide and make sure you were in front of the TV at the exact right time, with the antennae in the exact right position to catch Heat Miser and Cold Miser?? You had one chance a season, and if you missed it, you had to wait 365 days. Set your DVR to store a show until you can cuddle up together with popcorn. Make the time.

This is the schedule for Freeform, the old ABC Family channel. Channel 199 (699 HD) on Verizon FioS.
