It is Christmas Eve.......

What can the family get together and watch on television tonight? I have a small listing here of some of the most loved of Christmas Specials ( I have been watching some of these since the very first year they began airing, and I think that is awesome!)

Also tonight we have the following ~

ABC - The Chronicles of Narnia The ion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

NBC - Its a Wonderful Life ( this will mean more to me this year I feel then ever before)

PBS - Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ( I loved when my Father would put the Christmas Music on the record player on Christmas Day, this Choir is one of my favorites to listen to )

AMC - Willy Wonka Original with Gene Wilder

FMC - Home Alone 2

FX Ice Age 2

USA is playing National Treasure

TNT has Spider Man

and SciFi is playing Ghost Hunters

And lest we forget that yearly pain that makes tooth pulling seem like a vacation, the non stop A Christmas Story Marathon on TBS ( not very funny, TBS :-/ )

All in all , it is a great night for viewing entertainment that can include the entire family, so make some popcorn and hot cocoa and put on your fuzzy PJ's because it is Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas -
