This is the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas time! I am a huge fan of Christmas. What do I love the most? The music and family traditions. I love being with my family. I haven’t started playing Christmas music just yet, even though I have been tempted to do so. I will wait just a little bit longer and start planning instead. Now, I’m looking ahead at the TV lineups. Here’s a great list of what is going to be the TV this holiday season starting November 26th. There are some classics and some new ones (network premieres). We will try to update as we see new channel lineups with holiday specials. So, if you are bundling up one day and want to watch a great show or know some of the days your are going to hanging out at home check out the lineup below. Happy Holidays! Too early to say Merry Christmas.
