    My favorite Christmas animated specials....1). The Grinch. 2). A Charlie Brown Christmas and 3). One I haven't seen in forever, but loved as a kid....not even sure of the name of it...but it had the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser in it...and a catchy tune to go along with those two characters....

    That's certainly a tough choice, but I'd have to go with A Cosmic Christmas which originally aired on the CBC in 1977. I loved it then and I still love it now.

    My favorite animated special is "Twas the Night" it has the clockmaker and the little mouse in the movie. I don't see it played on tv anymore, but I still love it.
