My FAVORITE Christmas show....

One of the Christmas activities that I want to do with my kids and husband is to watch classic Christmas cartoons as a family---including, Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, etc. Well we have watched "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" twice! (Rebecca has decided that that is her favorite!) We have watched "Frosty the Snowman," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the cartoon version), and various cartoons of the day that have Christmas shows...for example "Dora's Christmas Carol." (Please note we did not watch these all on the same day! We have spread them out and watched about 1 a day or so.) Tonight, airing on tv is one of my all time favorite Christmas shows..

I love this show and look forward to watching it every year. We don't have it on DVD yet, but I think I may consider getting it to add to our collection. I love that it helps to strike a perfect balance between commercial Christmas and Religious Christmas.I am striving to keep the balance in our home. We go see Santa and enjoy buying presents and decorating with Santas and snowmen, but we also read stories of the true meaning of Christmas and making religious crafts and decorate with Nativitiy scenes.

I cannot wait to watch this show with Rebecca tonight. She is at the age where she loves Snoopy and she has enjoyed the other Charlie Brown specials that we have watched this year... It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

What Christmas shows do you look forward to every year?
