OK, they are very kitschy, but I for one love watching those old holiday stop-motion movies like Rudolph and Nester (a load of religious imagery in them but oh well)

2. They never did a Frosty though did they? |
|
Frosty the Snowman was a cartoon, maybe from the same company? Couldn't help but love the big lug.

My Dad used to hate that show, but I always loved watching it. Man, those were good times.

Loved the classic closing logo, too. Still sends chills up my spine.

So happy they are now on video/dvd and I can see them whenever I want. For a few years it seemed they didn't want to air them on television anymore--when I was growing up they showed them EVERY single year, same time of year, without fail.
It's nice to see that they are showing them on tv again. I really missed them!

9. Rudolph especially touches me. |
|
I like the whole misfits theme in that one. I love all of them pretty much. A rare one, for me for some odd reason, to get to see has something to do with the baby new year. I love that one, but never seem to catch it.

is airing them all all this month.
I can't wait to hear "I'm Mr. Green Christmas..."
