    I checked, it is on the list, and as season 3. For a Christmas show newbie like me it is a daunting list. So I've used this thread as a way to point me to some of the better one's. I don't usually attribute Westerns to Christmas stories as much as other genre's, so that is why that mention stood...

    There are standard Christmas movies we watch every year, but I've never gone through a list of Christmas TV episodes before. Maybe this year I will start a new trend. I will start with shows the kids have become familiar with the last few years. That will include the likes of Lassie, Fury...
