Every year, more and more Christmas movies and Winter Holiday specials are created to entertain us and to boost our holiday spirit. Our family enjoys reading their descriptions on our Dish Network program guide almost as much as we enjoy watching the programs! So, as I find time during this holiday season, I will be transcribing the descriptions to share here. Enjoy! Happy Holidays!
