With over 200 Christmas themed episodes in my collection, I like to spend a few weekends watching them in marathon form each year....well this past weekend while the metro area (and many more of you) was stuck in doors during the Blizzard of 2009, I decided this was the perfect day for my own Merrython.....my collection is quite eclectic, so that is the way I programmed my day....
