    How do you spend your Christmas? Well, hopefully you are curled up with your family in front of a fire laughing over spiked eggnog. What’s that you say? No fireplace?  Well you’re in luck cause this Christmas, if you have On Demand, you can check out ‘The Yule Log’ a 2-hour loop of crackling fire set to Christmas jams.

    .

    But if you are not in the Christmas spirit, this Sunday tune into ABC for ‘Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ at 8:30pm. If you want to find your Christmas spirit then what better movie than ‘Elf’ at 8pm on USA? But if you seriously are over it then check out Style channels premiere of ‘The Amandas’. Amanda LeBlanc and her team of professional organizers transform a home in Birmingham, Ala. You might pick up some organizing tips for your new years resolution.
    .

    Day after Christmas and you’re still in sweatpants? Phew, glad I’m not alone. What else are you going to do on Monday at 8pm but check out ‘Rudolph’s Shiny New Year’ on ABC cause we all know the transition between Christmas and New years needs a program that combines the two. But if you have been enjoying this holiday seasons game shows then check out ‘Who’s Still Standing’ to find out who is still standing. Follow that up with the finale of ‘You Deserve It’ at 9pm on ABC.
    .

    The best that Tuesday has to offer is a back-to-back showing of the original ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’ at 6:30 followed by the remake at 8:30 on ABC Family. That should keep you popping bon-bons all night. While you are probably still in your sweats (me too), you should probably check out ‘What Not To Wear’ at 9pm on TLC. However if you are looking for something new check out the premiere of ‘Texas Multi Mama’s’ at 8pm on WE following the stories of Texas moms dealing with triplets and twins. Check out a sneak peek here. If you are then hungry for more stories about the difficulties of motherhood, check out a new episode of ‘Teen Mom 2’ on MTV at 10pm.

    Warner Bros.

    Look, don’t judge me, but one of the best movies of all time ever is on Wednesday night and there really isn’t anything else worth watching. WE is showing ‘You’ve Got Mail’ at 8pm. You’re welcome. Then catch a new episode of ‘The Soup’ at 10pm on E!. Dream night? Duh!

    Warner Bros.

    Now Thursday is chock full of fun things not to miss. The first of which is ‘Happy New Year, Charlie Brown’ at 8pm on ABC. 9pm is the premiere of the NY version of LA Ink very cleverly called ‘NY Ink’. Wooster Street Social Club is a hot tattoo shop in New York City; Ami tries to find time to balance work and family life. Then as long as you are loving tough ladies, check out the premiere of ‘Hook, Line, & Sisters’ on TLC about a bunch of fishing sisters. It’s all about herring season you guys. But if that is too much for you, you can catch a new episode of Beavis and Butt-head’ on MTV at 10pm.

    TLC

    It’s been a long week, so Friday is a great time to throw on a fresh pair of sweats and check out a new episode of ‘Chuck’ on NBC at 8pm. A man from the past returns and Sarah worries that he is going to hurt those closest to her. Story of my life! In my professional opinion a ‘Jersey Shore’ Marathon is pretty much always must see TV so good thing MTV has that happening. And at 9pm there are two new episodes of ‘Say Yes To The Dress’ on TLC. Always good for what ails you.

    How did it get to be New Years Eve already? Sequined dress or sequined sweats? I think we both know what I’m wearing. You can’t not watch ABC’s ‘Dick Clark’s Prime Time New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2012’. You just can’t not watch it! It starts at 10pm. Of course Carson Daly is holding court on NBC for ‘NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly.’ But if you are afraid of the zombie apocalypse in 2012, I strongly suggest checking out the ‘The Walking Dead’ marathon on AMC starting at 11AM through midnight, so you can get yourself prepared. Happy New Year!
