Two guys from another forum I frequent came up with this interesting [website](http://betamaxmas.com/): BetaMaXmas. It’s basically a glorified YouTube playlist with a fancy Flash trapping, but damn if it doesn’t make it more interesting. Flip through the channels to see what classic Christmas specials or Christmas-themed episodes of classic '80s and '90s sitcoms are playing, or check the TV Guide. You may even see some old commercials, too. If the reception is fuzzy, fiddle with the rabbit ears. This thing is bringing back nostalgia for me- and I wasn’t even born at the time I would be nostalgic for this to do so!
