Remember back to your childhood when it took absolutely forever for Christmas to arrive? Ah, but that's not the way of the adult world, is it? We blink and the holiday is right around the corner, blink again and it's here. Without further ado, here are some of the television specials, holiday movies, and more that I found through to Friday, December 15.
Keep in mind that my list isn't everything that's out and about on the tube — I don't include premium cable programming, nor local programming outside of the NYC area. You may want to check your local listings in adition to checking this list.
