It says, "Followed by You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown." I don't think I've ever seen that one.

How incredibly cool is that? Any particular Christmas show that starts those memories churning? So me it will always be Merry Christmas Charlie Brown and the Bing Crosby Christmas Specials.

Mickey's Christmas Carol was the favorite at my house growing up, along with the stop-motion classics like Rudolph and Little Drummer Boy.

But what I think of when I remember those afternoons were the little-known cartoons like O Christmas Tree and The Night Before Christmas (with mice). And Annabelle's Wish. My siblings and I sang the main song from that movie in harmony for many years.

I wish I had been alive during all the Christmas specials with Bing Crosby and others. I just discovered the Best of Andy Williams' Christmas dvd last year and fell in love with it. It's just so innocent and genuine... He and his brothers singing together in bright Christmas sweaters is just not something you see so much these days, unless it's a skit on SNL, you know? It warms my heart and makes me wish I lived back then.

Good Friday morning! A 3-day weekend for me. But work is never done. Here is what I just made for a bake sale at work today. My first time working with candy melts, I did ok I think. Time to drop these off and then run around for some errands. I've been fighting off a headache since yesterday afternoon, I need to get some Tylenol becausecit's not going away on its own. Have a great day everyone!

I don't think they've aired that this year, but I've seen it before. It's cute.

Happy Friday!!! Kids went back to school today. My daughter still wasn't 100% but was close enough besides the high school homecoming football game is tonight and she wants to go. No school no football game. The high school has their pep rally this afternoon so she wont have as many classes today. She is not going to the homecoming dance so instead we are having a bonfire outside tomorrow night and the kids have invited several of their friends. The weather will be perfect, now just to make a bunch of snack foods

Have a great day!!

I'm glad I did. The 1960's and 1970's were truly the golden age of Christmas specials. We eagerly awaited each and every one - Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Bob Hope, Anne Murray, the various orchestral concerts, etc. It was SO sad when they began to disappear one by one. Now there is nothing left like that and we are the worse for it.
At least, we have YouTube to keep us warm and bring back the memories!

I wonder why they stopped... What changed?
