Christmas Marathon

I love Christmas! Over the past few years I have been collecting Christmas specials on DVD. I run a marathon of them for friends and family every year.

I keep a master list of shows and I wanted to post it here.

This list doesn't include anything over 65 minutes or anything that isn't "family friendly". I own plenty of Christmas movies and specials that are longer but I wont play them in the marathon due to time.

The list also has some odd notations that tell me where I have certain DVDs. Don't try and figure it out. You will go crazy.
