I really enjoy the Christmas season. I love the movies that get played every year. I love the Christmas music radio station. I love the lights. I love the snow. I love the togetherness. I love the Claymation. I love wrapping presents. I love unwrapping presents. I love making cards and presents for my friends and my teachers. I love going to the mall and finding the perfect gift. I love going shopping with my friends. I love the classroom Christmas parties that are against school rules. I love going to Petsmart with my mom to get stocking stuffers for my cats. I love waking up early on Christmas morning and being too excited to go back to sleep because you know how much everyone is going to love their gifts. I love not eating breakfast and going straight to the candy in my stocking. I love reading the book my sister got me right away. I love watching my cats play in the discarded wrapping part.
However, I do not love Jesus. I don't hate Jesus. I am not a Christian and I have never met him so I have no reason to love him. I feel it is disrespectful to Christians for me to celebrate part of the holiday. This is why I have come up with Giftmas. Giftmas is Christmas for...

(12/04/08 Update: I'm currently cleaning up the dead links in this article. You can also
take a look at my 2nd Big List of Christmas Videos - ...e!)
Ahh Christmas. The tree, the stockings, the mistletoe and - of course - the holiday television programming.
Some of my fondest Christmas memories were spent in front a of television watching such classics as the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or one of the myriad versions of Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.
So without further ado, I am presenting you with my big, big list of holiday specials. I've tried to categorize the list into subsections to make it a little more bearable and consumable. The list is in no particular order, though the first section, 'essentials', are (in my humble opinion) the cream of the crop. I should also note that I've only included programs for which I was able to find online videos so you'll notice some glaring omissions (like 'A Christmas Story' and 'Miracle on 34th Street).

Another Holiday season is upon us and you know what that means: break out the egg nog, light up the tree, put up the stockings, take out a second mortgage for the credit card bill and fire up The Carpenter's Christmas album (turn it up to 11, will you?).
It also means it's time for another list of Christmas video goodies.
So kick back and get ready to enjoy another batch of holiday fun. Oh, and in case you missed last year's list be sure to check out the original list of 101 Classic Christmas Videos.
So without further ado...
The Essentials
I'm reposting these from last year's list because these are the items most people want to see. If you can only watch a couple of holiday specials, these are the ones to watch. This is the proverbial 'hall of fame' of Christmas programming.
