Holiday DVR Lineup



By Tracy S, Charlotte Smarty Pants

Alright Smarties! Time to set your DVR. With bellies full and Turkey Day officially behind us, it is time to get into holiday mode for real! And what better way to get into the spirit than with some holiday favorites old and new? Whether you aspire to decorate your house Griswold-style, crack the secret code alongside young Ralphie (drink more Ovaltine), or just cozy up with the classics (I still cry over Frosty the Snowman!), there is something here for everyone. There’s even a little SNL humor thrown in for us moms and dads! Check out TVGuide.com for full details and descriptions of any of these shows.

But saving Christmas isn't their only motive — they also see the magic sleigh as their ticket back to New York City. This one contains laughs for the whole family!

Thank you for posting these! I just told my kids today that I was going to check online to see what the Christmas show line-up was this year so we could put them on our calendar. Glad I checked TSP first!

Am I the only person left who does not have a DVR? :-D

We don't have DVR either! Glad to know we are not the only ones! Oh, and we don't even have a flat screen. One of the days we'll move ourselves into the 21st century! :)
