Most children today have grown up watching the classic Christmas special 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' that was filmed using stop-motion animation. As the winter holiday season fast approaches and you settle down to watch 'Rudolph' on television, check out these ten cool facts that you didn't know about one of themost famous Christmas specials of all time.
If only Jimmy Fallon's show was just music. Here is probably the best rendition of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' ever, performed by Mariah Carey, Jimmy Fallon, and the Roots on toy instruments. Oh! Plus a chorus of jack-in-the-box kids wearing winter hats.
For me, the first 11 months of the year are merely a prelude to the Christmas season, but I get that not everyone shares my jones for Yuletide. What’s great about the wide and wonderful world of holiday films (which I explore in my book 'Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas') is that for every 'Miracle on 34th Street' and 'It’s a Wonderful Life,' there are plenty of flicks out there for all the Grinches who can’t wait for the plastic Santa and the inflatable snowmen to go back into the attic.
Finally a Christmas song that isn't veiled in the disillusionment of the holiday season. While some will say that these Irish rockers have abandoned their Celtic punk roots by releasing a Christmas song on their upcoming CD, 'Signed and Sealed in Blood', we can't help but find it refreshing in its honesty.
Thanksgiving is over, and now it's full speed ahead into the Christmas season, which includes letting Santa know what is on your wishlist. But some little ones don't seem to enjoy those visits with jolly St. Nick that much. Luckily, the photos are absolutely hilarious!
The Christmas tree is a classic symbol of the holiday season and sometimes, maybe the best way to get in the holiday mood. You put an evergreen tree in the middle of your living room, decorate it with lights, ornaments and tinsel, and—boom—Christmas spirit!
But what if, for whatever reason, you can’t have one? What do you do when you can’t keep a pine tree in your living space, but you still need a little Christmas? Maybe you have a small living room, or live in an eighth-floor walk-up. Perhaps you have pets who eat Chris
December 1, 2012 It’s the holiday season! If you’re like me then you finished all of your holiday shopping and now just sitting around waiting for the snow to begin! Get out of the house instead of being a couch potato and have some fun!
Santa Claus rules. Unless his beard gets stuck mid-mall stunt, then his cool status gets a little iffy. But otherwise, good ol' St. Nick is really awesome. Why? For starters, he has reindeer as pets, gives out presents for a living and gets thousands of free homemade cookies on Christmas Eve. Basically, the guy's livin' the life. It's no wonder he's survived to be like, hundreds of years old!
Not that we're counting or anything, but Christmas is only 27 days and a few hours away, which means it's time to get into the spirit ASAP. Now, this doesn't mean going 'Gangnam Style' crazy with house lights. You also don't have to go buying the 12 days of Christmas to prep for the holidays either, although that would be super awesome. It can require very little to no effort to feel all tingly with Christmas excitement, like making obnoxiously long gift lists or dressing up our cats like reindeer. Come on, you know we can't get through the holidays without embarrassing our pets.
Christmas is a time for joyous giving and families coming together and singing and eggnog. But we all know that on some level it’s all about the presents.
When we were kids, we would spend weeks crafting the perfect wish list to send to Santa Claus. Then we'd tr

Christmastime is supposed to be "the most wonderful time of the year," but for those Buffalo children with no permanent family, there is no Christmas cheer. But 92.9 Jack FM is doing something positive to help.
You may need a stiff drink after maneuvering through crowds to get all those Black Friday deals, or you may need some hair of the dog after your Thanksgiving festivities. Either way, give a bourbon Black Friday Cocktail a try.
