We’ve been busy watching so many great Christmas shows around our home each night since the holiday season started. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to add yet another fabulous DVD to our collection. The Classic Christmas TV Collection is now available on DVD and it’s been an enjoyable trip down memory lane.
I have to say my husband has been the one in our house enjoying this DVD more than anyone, I think! The DVD includes Christmas episodes from favorite TV series’ from the past, including CHiPs, Alice, Welcome Back Kotter, Perfect Strangers, Eight is Enough, Mama’s Family and many more. My husband is a huge fan (still!) of CHips and Alice and Mama’s Family were big favorites of mine from growing up, so we’ve really had fun watching these episodes.
A little more info:
