Our house is really getting into the Christmas spirit! It’s so much more fun when the kids finally start to GET IT, y’know? This week, we’re going to figure out some little Advent calendar craft, so the kids can have a visual reminder of how many more days there are. I’m tired of hearing, “Is it Christmas time yet?” I swear, December is the longest month EVER when you’re a kid! As a grownup, I almost wish the Christmas season went on a little longer. I hate having to take down my tree and decorations and stuff when it seems like I JUST put them up. I’m sure after Christmas is over, I’ll be more than ready to get rid of all the holiday cheer, though.

What I really love, though, is all the great stuff on TV! I wrote myself a sticky note to remind me which shows we need to watch this month. I’ve got the whole schedule posted of the holiday classics that I loved when I was a kid. It’s funny how BORING they are now, though – my kids don’t dig on them nearly as much as I do! Luckily for them, all of their favorite shows have special holiday episodes going on, too. I’ve got these episodes all scheduled for us to watch too, and I thought I’d pass the list along to you! Hey, we’re all friends, our favorites are your favorites, right??

Yo Gabba Gabba “Christmas” (PREMIERE)
Nick Jr. – December 21st at 1:30 p.m.

So much of Christmas is about receiving, but in this episode the Gabba gang learns about giving through the songs “Making Presents” and “For Me For You.” They celebrate winter and the holiday season in the songs “I Love Winter” and “Decorate the Tree.” Featured Guest Star: Mark Mothersbaugh in a “Mark’s Magic Pictures” segment.


Wow Wow Wubbzy! “O Figgity-Fig Tree/Snow Day” (PREMIERE)
Nick Jr. – December 14th at 1:30 p.m.

The winter holidays are here, and the kids are building a winter festival, Madame Zabinga is rehearsing the Nutty-Nutcracker, and Walden is waiting for the arrival of blue snow. Best of all is the lighting of the Figgity-Fig Tree, and this year Wubbzy wants to make it the best tree ever! But as usual, he overdoes it by adding too many lights and blows out the generator. Without any lights, the Wuzzleburg townspeople must come up with novel ways of decorating the tree. In “Snow Day,” Wubbzy goes sledding and Widget brings out his snow-shoveling machine. Walden begins building a snow sculpture of a Woly-Polar Bear, but soon Wubbzy sleds right into it, knocks it down and buries Widget’s machine in the snow. Now Wubbzy and Widget scramble frantically to fix the sculpture before Walden finds out.

The Backyardigans “Secret of Snow”
Nick Jr. – December 28th 12:30 p.m.

Uniqua sets off on a mission to discover the secret of snow, but gets a chilly reception from its keeper, Ice Lady Tasha.

My own little Pablo likes checking out the Nick Jr. site, where they have cute little Backyardigans-themed things you can print out right here, like gift wrap and Christmas cards. You can also make a really cool Yo Gabba Gabba ornament with a spinning DJ Lance in the center. So cute!Photo Credits:
