After the "The Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade” (hosted by Regis Philbin & Kelly Ripa) from 11 AM to 1 PM ET, ABC will air holiday themed re-airings of their primetime sitcoms in the daytime for the second consecutive year:

1:00 PM “Hope & Faith” -- "Silent Night, Opening Night"
Faith is crushed to learn that her role as Ashley Storm on her former soap has been recast with a new actress (Rebecca Budig, "All My Children"). To lift her spirits, Hope asks her to help out with Hayley's school holiday play. But Faith's tough coaching techniques cause big problems for the kids and Hope. Meanwhile, Charley tries to help Justin deal with a bully, but ends up in a rumble with Hank Peterson (Danny Woodburn, Mickey from "Seinfeld"), the boy's dad -- a little person who is one of Santa's elves at the mall. (OAD: 12/12/03)
1:30 PM “Less Than Perfect” -- "Santa Claude"
Claude takes on the task of personally shopping for all of Will's Christmas presents for staff and for his girlfriend, Dani. But it all starts to go wrong when Claude accidentally gives the very expensive gift meant for Dani to Lydia -- which makes Jeb very jealous. (OAD: 12/16/03)
2:00 PM “Life With Bonnie” -- "Its a Wonderful Job"
Bonnie has a dream that she was never the host of "Morning Chicago," getting a chilling glimpse of what the show would be like without her--in a Christmas past form. (OAD: 12/12/03)
2:30 PM “I’m With Her” -- "The Greatest Christmas Story Ever Told"
After agreeing to only spend up to one hundred dollars on each other for Christmas, Patrick is stunned when Alex surprises him with the key to a brand new sports car. For her part, Alex is speechless when Patrick's gift includes a key to his apartment, and Stevie discovers a newfound popularity with the ladies when he dresses up in a Santa suit. (OAD: 12/16/03)
3:00 PM “According to Jim” -- "Secret Santa"
Dana admits to Cheryl that she can't afford to buy Jim a Christmas present, so Cheryl lets Dana put her name on one of the presents she bought for him. Dana innocently picks out Cheryl's big present to Jim, but when Jim is thrilled with the gift, Dana is ready to take all the credit for it. (OAD: 12/09/03)
3:30 PM “It’s All Relative” -- "The Santa That Came to Dinner"
Bobby and Liz's families are trying their best to blend their very different styles of celebrating Christmas when a Christmas Eve delivery to Philip and Simon's house injures "Santa" Mace. And Bobby feels pressure to compete with the lavish Christmas gifts that Philip and Simon have planned for Liz. (OAD: 12/17/03)


All times Eastern. Sitcoms start 12 PM for Central and Pacific time viewers and 11 AM for Mountain time viewers.

TV is the last thing Id think about on Christmas.
Unless it was a Season Set on DVD, under the tree.

Christmas Morning through early afternoon is the most exciting part of Christmas. I usually watch Christmas movies/christmas episodes of sitcoms during the late afternoon and evening.

A Christmas Story!!
(its all TNT is good for)

I love that movie... they are doing 24 hours of it starting at 7pm ET on Christmas Eve!

"Hope & Faith" looks pretty good. For H&F fans who don't watch AMC, Rebecca Budig is a great actress, imo. It would be nice to see her on a sitcom, not that she doesn't get any hilarious lines on AMC.

"Less than Perfect" looks good too. I like the episode title lol

I wouldn't be watching on Christmas anyway but it'd be nice to see some episodes from last year like the "8 Simple Rules" and "According to Jim"

I watch Ernest Saves Christmas on Christmas Eve every year.
