Classic Holiday Specials Come to DVD
Remember Christmastime when you were a kid? It seemed like every night a new Christmas special was on. There were the variety type ones-remember Donny and Marie, Perry Como, John Denver and Bob Hope? Back then it seemed everyone had their own special. And then there were the animated 
ones. Charlie Brown, Frosty, Rudolph, and more. They became beloved traditions for millions of kids (and adults). The Claymation ones from Rankin and Bass are especially treasured. Now they are available on DVD. The first release was last year’s “The Original Christmas Classics” which contained the best of the best:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
