Old ones. Really old ones. Like The Charlie Brown Christmas from 1965, And Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer from 1964. Yeah, I&#8217;m THAT old. Then there&#8217;s How The Grinch Stole Christmas, but I&#8217;m not sure I ever sat and watched the whole thing in one stretch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8323 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=525%2C350&amp;ssl=1 525w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snowman-2603874_1280.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used to enjoy the Thanksgiving Day parades, but my tolerance for commercials is so low I don&#8217;t watch them anymore.
