Christmas Shows

I was lamenting that our vcr is broken - how are we going to get through the season without Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, The Grinch, and Charlie Brown?

You can watch full-screen versions, in their entirety, from this site. (With lots of other goodies like It's a Wonderful Life.) Find a second list with even more classics here.
Wonderful!
