Can't you feel it in the air? It's the holiday season! Thanksgiving is in just a few days. Before you know it, there will be folks decking the halls and making snowmen. Holiday television programming, from specially themed shows of your favorite series to movies to tree-lighting, special concerts, holiday decorating tips, glorious foods, and beyond starts this week.
Now, this isn't an all inclusive list of special programs, but hopefully it's a good representative of what's out and about for the next few days. On Friday, a new list will take us into the next week. Bake up a batch of your favorite holiday cookies, sit back with a mug of hot chocolate and your gift list by your side ... and check out what's on TV!
