This Week's Holiday Television Programming - December 18 - 22

Oh, no! Time is running out! Chanuka has already begun; Christmas will be here soon. But you can still shop for Christmas gifts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And, there are plenty of specials and holiday shows for you to enjoy during quiet times. This list isn't totally inclusive -- premium cable and local programming are noticeably asbsent. But it gives the skinny on specials, holiday movies, and more during the week.

Graphic artist Zoetawny made me a rockin' reindeer for the holiday, so let's all dance!

Thump.

Or not. Thanks, Zoetawny! It's spiffy!

Jackie, I went down your postings to see if you've mentioned The Amazing Race: Asia and saw no sign of it so excuse if you do know about it. There are several clips from each episode on YouTube; it's produced by Singapore's national TV; it's in English and the teams are playing for a $100,000 prize. Just another reason to spend way too much time watching YouTube.
