As a kid, my favorite Christmas specials were Charlie Browns Christmas, Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer, Santa Clause is Coming To Town, and Twas the Night Before Christmas.

But now I find that I look forward to watching The Little Drummer Boy each year. I have always loved the song. Even though fictional, it has a nice christian story. And now living in Phoenix, I can share the desert setting with the characters of the show.

The Little Drummer Boy is an unsung hero among Christmas Specials.

I used to watch that when I was little. I haven't seen it in a long time.

Look for it on ABC Family channel. Also Suncoast video is selling it on VHS and it it is also on a DVD two in one, along with Santa Clause is coming to town.

I was never a big fan of that particular Rankin Bass special.
