Journal Day
Write on the following prompt:

This is the time of year when there are Holiday specials and movies on almost every day. Just flipping through the channels at night you are bound to find one somewhere. Some channels even go as far as to spend the 25 days up to Christmas running multiple specials every day. Out of all of these made for TV specials and movies, which are your favorites? Which ones are your least favorites? Why do you like/dislike the movies/specials that you chose? Do you think they run too many of these specials? Do they start running them too soon? Are you one of those people that will watch every Christmas show they can find?
