He's gone down in his-tor-y!

Yesterday's and today's advent advice was to listen to Christmas songs and to watch a Christmas show on T.V. Check and... uh oh, still haven't caught a Christmas show yet. (Too busy watching the O.C. on DVD.)

Fortunately, I have discovered that my favorite Christmas special, the claymation version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, is not on until December 17th. Evidently, it's the 40th anniversary of "the longest-running holiday special in television history." Bet you didn't know that.

So tune in to CBS at 8 p.m. on the 17th to share a magical hour with Rudolph, Hermey, Santa, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius, the talking snowman, and (shudder) the Abominable Snowman. You better believe I'll be watching.
