My littler ones watched their first holiday special last night. That got me to thinking about all the ones I used to watch and which ones that still are around and make me feel a little bit of nostalgia.
For me the holiday season is official when the Charlie Brown special is on. The original rudolph also gets to me because I can remember watching it the first time it was on. and the grinch is a given.
What holiday special kicks the season off for you? Which one do you look forward to sharing with the little people in your life?

Being Jewish this may sound a little strange but it isn't Christmas without Charlie Brown, rudolph, and The 1938 version of A Christmas Carol. My mom was an agnostic but growing up we celebrated Christmas. When I became Jewish we celebrated botyh Christmas and Hanukkah. Now that she is gone the only things of Christmas I like are the Christmas specials.

Last year, I sat down with my kids to watch the Charlie Brown specials. They don't seem to care for it.
I guess my awe for these shows when I was little was the fact that Charlie Brown was just comics, and that it was all so special that they came up with a TV show just for Christmas.
Hopefully, they see something this holiday season, and remember it next year. So they can also have their own tradition.
