As I'm getting ready to write the next post, I just finished sobbing over Look Who's Talking Now because at the end they manage to spend Christmas together after all. *sigh*
So another favorite Christmas memory are the cheesy Christmas specials that usually come on starting the week after Thanksgiving. Sitcoms usually started airing their Christmas episodes and winter themed episodes. I always looked forward to when ABC would air the Charlie Brown Christmas Special or How the Grinch Stole Christmas. They usually meant Christmas was right around the corner and other people had to admit it.
The Lifetime Network and ABC Family always played cheesy made-for-TV-movies that usually either had a happy ending or one of those sad ending that are supposed to make you feel happy.
Now that I'm older, I've started to make my own Christmas movie collection so I don't have to try and catch them somewhere else. Movies like A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Santa Clause, I'll Be Home for Christmas, and even Home Alone 1 and 2. I'm sure it's a bigger list but I can't think of them all right now. Every time I pop one in the VCR or the DVD player, it always makes me feel like I'm home and that I should be wrapping or baking something. The feeling that Christmas is here.
