#SNOWDAY! Snowed in with the kiddos while my wife works so this is literally my list of things to do today.

Anyone see a favorite?

EDIT TO ADD: Somehow A Charlie Brown Christmas didn‘t make it in the picture but rest assured, it is a part of the collection.

A Charlie Brown Christmas would be my favorite Christmas movie, then The Muppet Christmas Carol.

After that, it‘s got to be Emmet Otter‘s Jug-Band Christmas. Any other fans?

FlowerFairy Love this! Have watched it every year since it originally aired! 7y
