OK, I \*know \*it is early - but some of the specials are coming out even before Thanksgiving and even though _I_ won’t watch any before then, there may be some you don’t want to miss. So here they are. I’ll try to update them and feel free to add your own or ask me to look for something special.
If you add, once a week on Sundays I will gather all of them into one post.

Wow, that’s neat!
The only one I ever actively try to watch isn’t on there, Little Drummer Boy, but I finally just bought the DVD for it years ago, after several seasons of failing to guess when it would air.

No Magoo? ☹
And, yeah, I do have Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol on DVD, but I want other kids to be able to see it as a child and fall in love with it like I did.
That Christmas Special rocks!

They usually play _National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation_ over here.

McGoo’s Christmas Carol is one of my favorites too - but it wasn’t on last year, and so far I haven’t spotted it this year, but I’m watching for it.
I’ll watch for the _Lampoon_ one.

Looks like I reported Rudolf wrong - it is on Nov 30th. I will correct it on Sunday and also see if I have any others wrong.

OK, much of this has changed - at first I thought _wow, I messed up bad_. But I had saved the original page and it wasn’t me. Hopefully the programming has solidified and I won’t have to spend as much time each week checking it.
