One of my favourite things about Christmas is all the fantastic shows that are on TV. Of course the soaps pull out all the stops but there's the films and all the specials which make me happy too! I usually write about what I look forward to watching over the whole week around Christmas but this year on Christmas day the TV seems fantastic.
These are some that I am looking forward to watching on Christmas day!!

Do you watch TV on Christmas day? What are you looking forward to?
These shows sound great, especially Tabby McTat. I don't usually watch TV on Christmas Day but I'll probably be recovering from our late-night Christmas Eve celebrations. My husband is working on Christmas Day so Sam and I will probably spend a day in front of the telly. I bet he'll want to watch Attack on Titan! Haha!!
ReplyDeleteWe rarely have time to watch TV on Christmas day... last year my husband and I did watch the Guardian's Christmas movie before the boys even woke up for the day and I remember one year we headed to my mother in law's house for dinner when our boys were quite little and all the kids wanted to watch the new Despicable Me movie and both my husband and I laid down on the floor to watch it with them and feel asleep.
