For when you need a little Christmas, right this very minute.


Prep and Landing
Just when you thought they didn't make good Christmas specials anymore, meet Santa's support team!


A Muppet Family Christmas
Join the whole Henson gang for some great jokes and an old fashion sing a long.



Claymation Christmas
A blast from the past, imagine Fantasia for Christmas carols.


How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Mmm, so classic. Great lines, great music. The Jim Carey version is okay.


Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Ditto.



Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special
The weirdest and funniest Christmas that ever happened.


Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas
Music will turn their sad Christmas into a happy one!


Mickey's Christmas Carol
A great (and mercifully short) rendition of this overdone story.


A Charlie Brown Christmas
The music. The dancing. The tree. Nice and nostalgic.


A Garfield Christmas
The original grumpy cat gets in the spirit.


Robbie the Reindeer
Pretty funny send up.


Arthur Christmas
Really funny, cool techno Santa operation.


Elf
Oh, yeah.


The Muppet Christmas Carol
The best Christmas Carol!


The Santa Clause
Kid's classic.


Klaus
Fun characters and art style with a different take on the Santa origin.














Now I know there's a lot of movies that people like that aren't here, but they're not my favorites!
On to books...

The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog by Dave Barry - So funny!

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - Still a good read!

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Christmas Collection - Funny and interesting reading on all things Christmas.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson - Remember this?


I don't go in for a lot of Christmas albums, I prefer my own specific mix tapes, but these are too good to pass by...

The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album

Branches - Songs for Christmas

The Sing Team - Christmas!

More Than December - Jetty Rae
