| 912 | Video | Mr Magic | Cartoon Network should show this since they show CGI Garfield anyway. | Dec 17, 2013 |  | |
| 913 | Video | Vaporman87 | I don't know Ben. They show Charlie Brown every year and Linus has that whole quote from the Bible in it. Maybe they just feel like Garfield isn't relevant enough and doesn't carry the nostalgic power of Charlie Brown during the holidays? | A Garfield Christmas Special | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 914 | Article | MissM | That's a good price Benjanime! They had the disc for sale in a tiny paper ornament for a 1.50 at Big Lots, but it looked really cheap. I hope you were able to pick it up! Vaproman, I just love this special. It truly has a great beginning, middle, and end. The flow is just splendid. And I agree, it is every bit as good if not better than the other specials that get played all the time every year. I hope you are doing well! | He-Man and She-Ra Celebrate Christmas too! | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 915 | Article | MissM | Hey Vaporman! Yeah, it has been hard to really sit and watch a full movie this year, because things have been so hectic. But I know I will watch some of them. I think Batman Returns got into the rotation because I ended up purchasing it on DVD during the Christmas season, so I have connected it with the season, because I usually will watch it anytime of the year. I so love Frosty the Snowman. I used to cry when I was younger at his fate. I also love the Chipmunks Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas. I am very curious to see what the newly revamped Charlie Brown will be like in the next couple of years. Benjanime- Black Christmas is really good! The remade it s a few years ago and it was ok, but the original is just really good. It's like a slasher horror film, but it relies on more suspense than anything else. And yeah, there were a few scenes in the Gremlins movie that always rubbed me the wrong way or creeped me out as a kid. It's funny, because some of those things will still stick with me to this very day. | Dorkette Christmas Traditions | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 916 | Article | Vaporman87 | What is it about Santa (the live action ones) that so many children fear? Both of my sons DO NOT want anything to do with him, though they sure do love the presents he brings! I don't remember a time when I ever feared Santa, but I'm sure there was one. It's almost like a rite of passage for children to overcome the fear of hopping up on his lap to list your wants that year. What I like about this most, is that I had completely forgotten about the old 900 numbers you could use to call Santa. I personally never used them, but I remember now all the commercials that aired each year. Funny stuff. Thanks for this pikachulover! | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 917 | Video | Mr Magic | Some of those things look pretty appetizing, but others don't. | 80s Kraft Christmas Commercials | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 918 | Article | SegaFanatic | Intresting article, never seen this before! | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 919 | Article | pikachulover | I think for me the fear stemmed from me thinking Santa was involved with those shady telephone number business people. I have a cousin, and when she was a kid she was afraid of all Santa things even drawings in books and wooden Christmas ornaments. | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 18, 2013 | |
| 920 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! Where to begin? So much of what you have gone into here I can relate to. For starters, I can't agree with you enough regarding commercials during the Parade. Good grief, does there really need to be THAT many breaks in the action? I suppose if you had recorded it previously (as you mentioned), you could simply fast forward through the commercials... but it shouldn't have to be that way. Putting up the tree as a kid was not something we really did much as a family. Now that I have my own little family, we DO make it an occasion (especially the choosing of the tree and the star that will adorn the top). An what Christmas would be complete without the right television specials and films? When you're a child, it doesn't really matter what you're told or how you're taught... you are GOING to remain solely focused on presents. How can you not? So a kid can hardly be liable for not desiring to attend a church service in the midst of such excitement. And I say that as a Christian myself. Thankfully, the actual time for opening presents (and playing with them) and attending service rarely conflicted for me. Finally, I share your affinity for snow. During the beginning of this month, we were in Florida. It was so strange to see all the Christmas lights and hubbub in such a warm climate. I felt like something was missing. Then, in the Magic Kingdom, there are places and times when "fake" snow (consisting of clumped up bubbles) fall from the sky. I felt sad for those there that have never actually seen the real deal. That fake snow made me long for home and the real thing. Great first article SF! Thanks so much for sharing! | A White Christmas | Dec 18, 2013 | |
| 921 | Article | Mr Magic | That Urkel pic reminds me of all the Family Matters Christmas specials they used to show on ABC. Those writers really understood how to make Christmas episodes. | A White Christmas | Dec 18, 2013 | |
