LOL! Yes, Charlie Brown’s little tree makes me cry, and the Bumpus dogs eating the turkey makes me cry too. Seriously, though, I don’t know of any new Christmas specials, so #5 was a total guess. And I love those old musicals and do wish they’d show them more. Thank goodness for Turner Classic Movies.

The last is one of the last Rankin-Bass Christmas specials and is based on the extremely odd Lewis Carrol story of the same name - think “Lord of the Rings” meets “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” kinda odd.
