But if they outright must be part of the season, we might as well have the greatest Christmas special of all time, celebrating its 41st anniversary on the air this year...
A Charlie Brown Christmas will never get old. Between the quirky animation and the classic "Linus and Lucy" tune and funky dance scene and Linus's heart-touching "that's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown" scene, it's no wonder this was a classic from the very first time it aired in 1965.
By the way, according to the guys at X-Entertainment, you can now buy a replica of Charlie Brown's pathetic Christmas tree from UrbanOutfitters.com:
For $24 it can be yours. I might get one of these for next year, just to see how many presents we can fit under it.
Last year I posted the Top Ten Worst Christmas Songs Ever (which appropriately enough was post #666 for this blog). I'm currently working on a feature called "The Worst Christmas Specials Ever". I'll try to have it posted in the next several days.

"I hate TV Christmas specials"
I LOVE Christmas specials :-)
Dont get me wrong. I dont like any and all Christmas specials.
Though I much prefer the ones I grew up with...Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, the Charlie Brown special, etc.
Watching The Wizard of Oz annually was a Christmas tradition with me.
And how I miss those Christmas specials by the best comedians...Bob Hope, Red Sekleton, etc.
I cant stand anything they put out today.
Yeah but have you seen any of the crap-tacular Christmas specials on Hallmark, Family Channel etc.? I think even The Fat Albert Christmas Special had a lot more heart/depth than just about any 2-hour Christmas movie coming out on TV these days.
