    I have recommended this wonderful list to a lot of people, but how disappointing that you had to feature the hot girls and hot links. It’s ironic that this is how we have to get information on shows celebrating Christ’s birth.

    i do agree about the irony of the placement of the hot girls ads right above the list of christmas programs, but i since its not my list, that’s not really my call…i’m also pretty sure that its the ads/links to the hot girls that pay the bills for this list to be online… so its a double edged sword i guess…i still really appreciate this list..! :)

    How can they show the horrible remake of Miracle on 34th Street and not show the original??? I’m so disappointed!

    But the porn ads are enough to make me delete this listing. Surely, there are other ways to pay the bills.

    Where is A Boyfriend for Christmas? Some of the older Xmas movies you are not putting on. What happened to the old movies with Loretta Young’s “Christmas Eve and some of the older actresses/actors.
    People look for some of these movies and every year you put the same movies over and over again. Put a variety of Xmas movies on for both young and old alike.
    The Senior Citizens like to see some of the movies back when. Thank you.

    I also miss the original “Miracle on 34th Street”. Why isn’t it shown anymore? And the Walton’s movie “A Homecoming” why don’t they show that one? The new movies are just remakes of the old or stories from romance books. No creativity.

    I do not like seeing the porn ads when you are printing the Christmas schedule. Christ is part of Christmas-Jesus is the reason for the season. Surely you could have had some other paying advertisers other that the porn and hot bods.
    How come they are not showing the classics like the original Miracle on 34th Street or Heidi? I miss them.

    I have taped and burned every Christmas/Holiday program every year for a couple decades. Finally getting most on DVD. Fun to compare the different versions of the “A Christmas Carol”. I wish more of the older programs would be shown. Got most of the newer Family-Lifetime-Hallmark productions. Still trying to fine “A House Without A Christmas Tree”. It takes place in my home state of Nebraska.

    I love all Christmas movies, and there are many of them! So, I’m not complaining, but it would be awesome if they would also show some of the older, traditional movies, as well, such as Christmas Eve with Loretta Young and It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, that have not been shown on any of the stations this year, yet most stations keep replaying the same newer movies over and over again. It would just be warmer and fuzzier if there were some Christmas classics included at different times of the day and night for everyone to enjoy.
