I hope you enjoy the new movie tonight and the cartoon's TV premiere! Last night I watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's a Wonderful Life" with my family. Oh my, those two are definitely THE BEST, and nothing can ever quite compare! The emotion, inspiration, and memories they both bring through the years is so precious and endearing. My eyes were welled up with tears at the end. It happens every time... no matter how many times I've seen "It's a Wonderful Life!" I looked around the room at my family, and I was not alone in needing a tissue. What a truly *wonderful* time! We'll be watching "It's a Wonderful Life" again on Christmas Eve, as we gather with even more family and anticipate Santa's arrival... which is coming soon!

Be sure to check the Christmas TV Schedule - so you don't miss any of your favorites this holiday season!
