It's a shame how ABC Family is kind of dropping the ball when it comes to the Christmas shows this year.

I agree. What's happened to great animated shows like "Noel", "Red Boots for Christmas", and the other entertaining animated Christmas shows they used to broadcast? I have no interest in the live-action Christmas movies they've shown this year.

What seems to of happened is these tv networks are pulling more and more away from the true meaning of Christmas and just creating new junk that has no morality and does not teach the difference between right and wrong like the older shows made from the 1920's to 1993 showed. Personally I would for the month of December have them show the entire unedited versions of Pinocchio's Christmas, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer, Rudolph's Shiny New Year, A Chipmunk Christmas, A Year Without Santa Claus, Nestor the Long Eared Donkey, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, The Smurfs Christmas special, and several other holiday shows that were made back in the 1980's that are not hardly seen anymore. I would rather today's children see the old classic Holiday Specials made by Rankin Bass Productions, Hanna Barbera Productions, and other companies that made good shows from 1930 to 1993 than to see these bad shows that now air.
