Though this is not exactly holiday music, it sure brings back some good boomer nostalgia: 10pm ET PBS Ed Sullivan's Rock'n'Roll Classics: The 60s Memorable music appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" from the 1960s. Included: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, the Beach Boys, the Animals, the Mamas and the Papas, the Young Rascals, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Petula Clark, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Sly and the Family Stone, Tommy James and Herman's Hermits. Paul Shaffer and T.J. Lubinsky host. Below, Hallmark's "The Christmas Card" is particularly noteworthy imo: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783494/synopsisHoliday Fare: Under the Mistletoe Lifetime Dec 6, 5:00pm All I Want For Chistmas Hallmark Dec 6, 6pm A Christmas Proposal Lifetime Dec 6, 7:00pm 12 Men of Christmas Lifetime Dec 6, 9:00pm & 11pm Invasion of the Christmas Lights TLC Dec 6, 9pm The Christmas Card Hallmark Dec 6, 10pm

Josie, at $8.00 per pack, assuming 2 packs a day, that's $16 per day, or....times 365 days per year: $5,840!!! per year to spend on a toxic drug that KILLS.
If that is not enough incentive to make anyone quit, I don't know what is! Intellectually, I totally agree with you, Anne. It makes absolutely no sense for anyone to smoke for ANY reason. Yet I remember a time when I would pick up a used cigarette butt FROM THE STREET, rather than go without that "fix" of nicotine. The only cardinal rule I had was that I would not commit an illegal act to afford cigarettes. Yet many people would do ANYTHING to get nicotine. Money means absolutely nothing when you are going through nicotine withdrawal. As hard as that is to understand, it's reality for many who are seriously addicted to this drug. Heck, as a nurse, I unconsciously lit 2 cigarettes and had them both in my mouth as I watched my own mother take her last breath in an ICU at age 59 from heart disease and complications of long term tobacco use. (I was near so much oxygen and could have blown everyone up) Money meant nothing, my health meant nothing.....as long as I could have cigarettes by my side. I never thought I would EVER be able to quit....until the day I did. Everyone who has a serious addiction to nicotine or any other addictive substance has the potential for quitting. But the solution for each is different, depending on the individual. I wish I knew how to explain it better......

It takes a bit of research, since no one list seems to have it all. I try to capture what I can, so we can have a good selection. It sure helps to keep the holiday spirits up a bit.....
Tonight is Barbara Walter's annual holiday special:

Included: Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, Tyler Perry, Kate Gosselin, Sarah Palin, talk-show host Glenn Beck, the NFL's Brett Favre, South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford and Michael Jackson's children (Paris, Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II). The final person is announced on the program.
