Every year, close to Christmas, we here at the Texas Media Group sit down with our families to watch the amazing lineup of holiday TV specials. We enjoy our time together, watching these same programs from year to year, laughing at the same old jokes. But, most of all, we enjoy our time with our families, and even though television programs come and go in favorite holiday playlists, we made our own list of some of the specials we like to watch – growing up or watching our children grow up. We hope you like it, and if you have some that we missed from a list of your personal favorites, feel free to comment or let us know which ones will always be fond memories of yours.
