TV Specials


I have already told everyone that I love this holiday season and one of the reasons is because I love watching all the holiday specials. I have found a web site that tells you when all the specials are airing onTV. I noticed that a few of my readers have taken the poll of Christmas specials and picked "A Christmas Story". Well you may be happy to know that it is on TV Friday at 8pm on TBS. Thursday night ABC family has "Jack Frost", "Santa Claus is coming to town" and "The year without a Santa" Too bad I will miss some of those because I will be at parent Teacher conferences for my daughter at King Philip. Tuesday night the "Grinch who stole Christmas" is on. but I think most of us will miss that because we will be at the football playoff game. That is pretty exciting, huh? We win Tuesday and then Saturday we will be at Gillette Stadium for the high school superbowl. Way to go Norton! The teamn winning has made this time of year even more exciting. Don't you agree?

Now back to the xmas specials...a couple of others coming up are Charlie Brown Christmas on Monday Dec. 8th and Frosty is on Friday Dec 12th. I love those two.

I just saw a commercial for Rudolph which will be on CBS Wednesday night. I have to miss that one because I have parent teacher conferences for my son starting at 7:15. I doubt I will be home by 8:00

Believe it or not, i havent seen many of these christmas specials, but the ones i have seen like the grinch and Rudolph rlly seem to get me into the christmas spirit. Right after Thanksgiving is always the time of year when many people cringe at the slightest idea of christmus songs in november but the christmus specials never seem to get old

oh em gee i love christmas movies. My fav is Frosty because he is clearly the coolest and more realistic character in any of the christmas specials to date. theres another one that i like too but i dont know wat its called. its the one where they have my second fav christmas song (behind the frosty one) where they say "put on foot in front of the other and soon you will be walkin across the flooooorrrrrr! put one foot in front of the other and soon you will be walkin out the dooorrr!" Couple of my favs just for you Ms. Tayor

I really love christmas specials. They always get me in the Christmas mood and make me feel like Christmas is right around the corner. For me, Christmas movies have always built up the suspense for Christmas day. My favorite christmas movie is probably Frosty the Snowman.

I have to agree with everyone and say that one of my favorites is definately "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". It's so great and reminds me of being a kid!
But I have to admit that "A Christmas Story" is getting so annoying to me. I really don't like it! At my house we watch it every christmas day nonstop, so now I really can't stand to watch that movie.

One of my favorite things about Christmas time is the movies! I always watch A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, it's a tradition. I have to agree with Taylor that most people hate the idea of listening to Christmas songs and watching Christmas specials in November, but as soon as they start playing everyone enjoys them. I also agree with Chad that the TV specials are a definite sign that Christmas is just around the corner. I'm really excited to see some of my favorite Christmas movies, like Charlie Brown and A Christmas Story!

I cannot stand the Charlie Brown Christmas special. That one gets on my nerves. Truthfully, I don't like Charlie Brown in general but this is my least favorite.

My favorite holiday movie is Home Alone. I like how he sets all the traps for the bad guys haha. I also like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and Charlie Brown is a classic too. :)

Ouch, that's kinda harsh, Brad. Not a "Peanuts" fan?

Anyways, my favorite Christmas movie is "A Wonderful Life". It's an old movie, and it's in black-and-white, but I really like it. I watch it every year.

I love every Christmas special! My favorite is "A Christmas Story" but I don't see it very often because I don't get TBS, which seems to be the only channel that plays it! :(

Thanks for the times Mrs. Taylor. My mom is really into Christmas specials too so if I tell her these times I'm sure she will DVR them so she can watch them over and over. Haha. I think my favorite Christmas specials are The Year Without A Santa Claus and The Grinch. I love the miser brothers and their jazzy songs. But Jim Carey is one of my favorite actors. His facial expressions and portrayal of the Grinch in this movie are hilarious. I know so many funny quotes. I can't wait to watch the movies soon

Red Sox time is here!

Everyone has reported to Spring training and the first pre-season game is Wednesday at 7:05. I am very excited, but I will have to skip this game because our boys basketball team has its playoff game at the same time and they are more important to me than the Redsox.

One School One Book

I have been reading the book "The Day the World Came to Town" and something is on my mind that I have to share with everyone. Can you believe how incredibly generous and trusting the people in Gander are? I would like to think that I would be the same, but I am not sure. I know that I would definately bring supplies to where ever the people were being placed, but I am not sure that I would open my house up to strangers. I couldn't get over how people were invited into the homes to take showers and the home owners would leave the house and tell them to make themselves at home. I would like to think that I could be that way, but I am not sure I would. What about you? Could you be that trusting of stangers?

What are you reading?

Have you read any good books lately? I am trying to find a great book for the incoming freshmen to read over the summer. The current freshmen class read "The Number Devil", but they didn't like that choice so I am trying to find something more enjoyable for the students. Right now I am reading "October Sky" by Homer Hickham. I am only 60 pages into the book, but I am enjoying the little that I have read. I would like to hear about any books that you have read and would recommend.
