What’s Your Favorite Holiday Special?

We want to know what Christmas program gets you to turn on and tune in Tampa Bay!

Just turn on a television and it is quite clear the holidays are almost here. Christmas specials top the programming lineup on many stations, and for good reason: people tune in to watch them.

After all, why would ABC Family dedicate 25 days to Christmas if folks like us didn’t flip the switch to watch? Many of us even have a secret favorite that we can’t wait to watch each year. Seeing it makes the season just a little merrier. (For me, it’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”)

And that’s what we want to talk to you about today, Tampa Bay! We want to know which holiday special is your must-watch of the season.

  • Is it “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” you can’t live without?
  • Maybe it’s the “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” that makes your holidays complete?
  • Perhaps you prefer rockin’ it old school with “Miracle on 34th Street” or “A Christmas Story?”

Whatever the case, Tampa Bay, we to hear your thoughts!

What’s your absolute favorite, must-watch TV special at the holidays? Why do you love it so much? Share your opinions in the comments section.

The Grinch, Miracle on 34th Street (both) , The Nativity (best one made) , and If You Believe

Scrooge 1951 version the best but watch them all. Also, The Little Drummer Boy animation. Brings me to tears every time.

the question is - would any of these laws prevent the people who already get guns illegally anywayRead More from getting them now ? If not what is the point of the law - more gov't?

Great Photo! Is that the setup we'll be supplying to first grade teachers nationwide? Is the NRARead More gonna chip in with a few mags? Some bullets? Body bags what ? If the black helicopters do come for you your little ak-47 + all the bullets you can afford on your little paycheck just ain't gonna do the trick. and just who are you gonna shoot at? Your kid or the one down the street that just joined the service a few days, weeks, months, or years ago? You know that kid , he's the one that wanted to Serve his country. Is he the one you want to shoot? Is she the one that scares you? Fact is you and me just don't need these kinds of vicious killing machines.

you anti-gunners are so full of never mind I am old enough to remember before there were over 40Read More thousand gun laws on the books and Americans didn't have the kind of problems that we have now not until the government got envolved did we start having all the crime that we have now. Question if the almost 40 thousand gun laws haven't made things better maybe it time to look some where else beside the government and the dumbing down of American youth. Yeah they got a degree in some sort of liberal art that was suppose to make a difference now we have a bunch of educated drug dealers but here's the stickler they just think their educated. the individual with the common sense is the one making the money and they weren't government educated with faux degrees.
