In keeping with the tradition of Christmas arriving earlier and earlier every year in store displays and advertising, television programming is following suit. Love A Charlie Brown Christmas?  It was on last night.  Never miss Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!?  On tonight - if you see my post right when it goes up you might be able to catch it on ABC at 8:30 pm (right after Shrek the Halls).  Have I saddened you?  I'm sorry and I've got good news - both those shows will repeat and I've got ways for you to ensure you never miss the holiday classics and suggestions on how you can find new favorites.

"Ahh. Uncomfortable silences and alcohol. Just like Thanksgiving at home..." --J.D. on "Scrubs"

As a Canadian, American Thanksgiving always seemed so...big. It seems like such a bigger event than our own harvest festival Thanksgiving held more than a month earlier. When I was a kid the difference in dates was so very confusing. I remember reading a book where a character talked about Christmas decorations coming out right after Thanksgiving and my response was, "What? Before Halloween???" Needless to say I've since learned a lot more about American Thanksgiving (I still don't get the football association, but then I don't really get football). What better way to celebrate it than to point out some Thanksgiving books?

‘Tis the season to treat the ones we love to a little something-something that will bring a smile to their face – or a WOW to their lips. If you’ve got a film buff on your list, you’re in luck. I’ve got a great list of gift ideas to help you bring a little movie magic to your favorite fan of the silver screen.

When I was growing up, one of the big holiday events was the yearly broadcast of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It was on once a year, and if you missed it...well, you just didn't miss it, because it was an event. My dad would make caramel popcorn balls or chocolate pudding, and we'd crowd onto the couch to watch in our pajamas. Sometimes, we'd even invite friends over to watch.
