The Ultimate Guide to the 2010 Holiday TV Schedule!

Only during the holiday season do we allow ourselves to consume things we never would otherwise: namely, too many calories and terribly cheesy television and movies.

But when its Christmas, that’s okay. Normally, most of us wouldn’t watch the same programs, intended for children, year after year, but buddy, when the Grinch is on, I’m watching.

And in 2010, no one needs to spend hours in front of the television, waiting for that magic moment when Home Alone comes on (Kevin, you’re such a disease). Take a minute to look at these great schedules, then set your DVRs or other recorders, and have them available for whenever you get around to wrapping those gifts!   

Though the design hasn’t been updated since, um, 1998, the collection at HolidayPages4U.Tripod (remember those) is the most thorough, and super easy to scan using your browser’s search function (⌘ or Ctrl F).

For those that prefer a calendar view, TVGuide’s collection, though not anywhere as thorough, has all the standards.

And this list from Chiff.com has ALL of the multiple showings listed of each program, in case you miss it the first time around or will be watching live.

Alas, there’s no A Very Brady Christmas this year..again. But, with the help of these lists, I’ll be pretty set.
