Wow - Pretty weak Christmas TV list from Mental Floss.
Guess they've got too many younglings on the payroll.
Respectfully submit two episodes from the Twilight Zone,
which was unforgivably snubbed:

The Night of the Meek
The Changing of the Guard

Shameless plug from a card carrying member of the
International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas:

Dasher

A great children's book on the origin of Santa's reindeer. It's
on the NYT's children's best list.

Finally Miss C., if I sent Christmas cards, you'd totally be
on my list. May your Christmas Tree survive its battles with
your cats.

Happy Friday!
