I'm ticked off. It's bad enough that they stopped airing King Kong on Thanksgivings many years ago, but this morning I see that for the first time in who knows how long they're not airing The March of the Wooden Soldiers. :mad3:

Another family tradition down the crapper.

WMMR out of Philly always played the Alice's Restaurant Massacre on Thanksgiving. I always loved that.

How about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and so on. Lots of public schools in California have gone to Winter Holiday, Spring Holiday. Weird in my book.

I love watching charlie brown's christmas. Something about the piano riff in it that just brings back great memories for me.

If they stop playing a Christmas Story, I'll incite a riot.

I got the Blu-Ray as a preemptive defensive maneuver.

A few Christmases ago my daughter got me "A Major Award" which sits proudly on my desk.

For those in the DC area, Don & Mike doing the Hamburger James and Elvis story every year was what I looked forward to.

Honestly, how weirded out would you be if you got carolers?

Isn't it fascinating how a century ago, you probably would've opened the door and probably would've sung along and now your response would probably be a feeling of unease followed by an attempt at an awkward smile?

Not so many years ago, when I was a cub scout, our pack went door to door caroling in my neighborhood. It seemed to be well appreciated. Some of the people even brought us snacks!
