Have an Animated Holiday!

One of my guilty pleasures (okay, maybe not so guilty) at this time of year are the animated/claymated holiday shows. I especially love the classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, Frosty the Snowman, The Little Drummer Boy, and a handful of others. So, for your viewing pleasure, I've included a partial list of the upcoming shows.
