A couple of years ago, Time magazine put out a list of the 7 essential Christmas programs to watch.

Here's the list:

1. BING CROSBY AND DAVID BOWIE'S DUET
2. A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
3. DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
4. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
5. SEINFELD'S "THE STRIKE" (A.K.A. THE FESTIVUS EPISODE)
6. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
7. THE YULE LOG


Two things that I noticed. First, why seven!? Second, does anyone else think it's a bit weird that the yule log is on the list? Really? Why not Frosty the Snowman? Or really, just about anything else. The Yule Log!? Come on.

Want another list courtesy of Time? How about the top 10 Disney Controversies? Thanks to their most rescent, The Princess and The Frog, featuring a black princess (can I say that I'm sad that that's controversial and still be reasonably politically correct?), Disney has again made headlines. Some of the other ones are just plain funny.
