2014 Christmas Specials

It’s the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year!”

I just watched the lighting of the Rock Center Tree here in NYC.  I’m all fired up now so here is my compilation of the best Christmas specials to watch this year.

The first section is my pick of the best specials airing on every network except ABC Family.  ABC Family follows underneath because their 25 Days of Christmas extravaganza is in a class by itself!

Put on some pjs, snuggle on the couch under a nice blanket with hot cocoa and ENJOY!
