"Christmas time is here
happiness and cheer
fun for all that children call
their favorite time of year."

You can't question the judgment of Charlie Brown and the gang. If they say Christmas time is here and it's good and great and wonderful, then it must be so.

And along with the wrapping paper and lights and ornaments and carols are ... wait for it ... Christmas television specials!

Here's a great big list of 'em, so you can indulge in your perennial favorites such as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Frosty the Snowman." Or the not-quite-timeless-yet ones such as "Olive, the Other Reindeer." Or the beautiful carols sung by choirs in many a special.

Whatever your favorite, there's plenty from which to choose.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
