The Best Christmas Specials on Television [OPINION]

The Christmas season means a return of all those television specials, and it is a great time of the year.

We can all thank the Rankin/Bass Productions outfit for adding an additional layer of magic to Christmas. They used the stories and songs of Christmas along with animation to bring life to legends and put them into the living rooms of families around the world.
