    TV channels cater to the holiday-obsessed

    Many people mark the arrival of the holidays by the prospect of the gifts to buy and receive, the constant loop of Christmas music on the 102.9 radio station or the amount of snow we have to wipe off our car’s windshield in the morning. But for me, it isn’t the music or the presents that announce Christmas’s hold upon us. It’s about what’s on TV.

    Every year, several television channels promote a month chock full of classic shows, ones that people all across America associate with a sense of tradition. Let’s be honest, the holiday season wouldn’t hold nearly as much appeal without the timeless repetition of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Merry Christmas Charlie Brown.

    There’s no shortage of television channels that host a scheduled time explicitly devoted to showing the best and most well known of all holiday movies, such as ABC Family, Hallmark, Turner Class Movies (TCM) and many more. In order to help feed your yule time fix, here’s a standard list of days that host the most memorable Christmas and holiday shows being displayed.
