Hands down the best Christmas Special ever. Period.

It tops our annual Christmas watch list. We have a family tradition of watching the following (almost all on DVD now to accomodate schedules as kids have their own lives and families now):

Charlie Brown Christmas, Grinch, Rudolph, White Christmas, A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim version), Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story. We then cap it off on Christmas Eve with a family dinner, then the entire family watches “It’s A Wonderful Life” followed by opening one gift before the kids and grandkids go home and we hit the bed — mom in her kerchief and I in my cap of course.

No Land of the Misfit Toys?

We’ve got a whole passel of Christmas stuff on DVD...Christmas Carol (Alistair Sim version), The Muppets Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, A Hanna-Barbera collection of Christmas specials (Rudolph, Frosty, and a couple others), How The Grinch Stole Christmas (original cartoon), White Christmas, Holiday Inn, The Polar Express, and a few Veggie Tales Christmas shows.

And...we also have A Charlie Brown Christmas. (Believe it or not...I miss the Dolly Madison comercials....)

I believe that the combination of the stories "It's A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol" have a spiritual magic together. A philosophy of creation that you just feel and know in your heart.

Every single life has a meaning and purpose for the good of all and the Redemption of that life is always available. No matter what.

Because God made it so.
