Each giveaway will run for a week, giving us plenty of time to pop ’em the mail for winners to receive before December 25. By the way, it’s called a Christmas giveaway because that’s what we celebrate in the TVScreener household, but, of course, we hope all holiday celebrants – Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, Chrismukkah, Festivus, etc. – will join in the fun. Free stuff is free stuff, people!

All you’ll have to do to enter: Check back at TVScreener.com every day, from today, November 17, through December 11, and leave a comment on the giveaway posts, with your name, your all-time favorite holiday TV special, and an e-mail address where we can reach you, and you may be a winner. Check the deadline to enter for each day’s giveaway, as, again, each giveaway will run for a week.
Now, the fun part. To kick off the It’s a Very TVScreener.com Christmas 25-Day Giveaway, we’ve got a very appropriate DVD: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: It’s a Very Sunny Christmas. This direct-to-DVD release – it’s not airing on FX (and when you see it, you’ll know why) – finds The Gang celebrating the holidays as only they can, which means it involves a bloody Santa, a naked Frank, flashbacks to when Charlie, Mac, Dennis and Sweet Dee were kiddies and a surprisingly excited recipient of a Cabbage Patch Doll.
The hilarious story unfolds as Charlie and Mac try to plan a holiday celebration at Paddy’s, while Frank taunts Dee and Dennis with their dream gifts – which he buys for himself. We find out some interesting things about the Paddy’s crew’s past – suffice it to say we learn the origin of one of Charlie’s favorite recreational habits – and the whole thing wraps up with what, by Sunny measures, is actually kind of a sweet moment.
The DVD also includes deleted scenes with the young Charlie and Mac, a Sunny sing-a-long and a behind-the-scenes featurette. In short, though it’s all about Christmas, the Sunny special is more like a valentine to fans who love these crazy characters.
And to enter for a chance to win one of two copies of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: It’s a Very Sunny Christmas DVD, remember:
– Leave a comment on this post, with your name, your all-time favorite holiday TV special and an e-mail address where we can reach you

Good luck, Sunny fans, and stay tuned for the rest of our It’s a Very TVScreener.com Christmas 25-Day Giveaway!
Charlie Sheen, Russell Brand and Louis C.K. are getting most of the attention, but I’m most excited that one of the best new shows of last TV season — Wilfred — returns for its second season on FX tonight (10PM ET). Season one of the series ended with a cliffhanger — had Ryan (Elijah Wood) […]
How the Grinch stole Christmas!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
This show cracks me up. My favorite holiday special is The Grinch (Jim Carrey) version.
I know this is a Christmas giveaway thing, but I’m still assuming that the favorite holiday special applies to all holidays and am going with “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
A Charlie Brown Christmas is my all time favorite.
I can’t decide, I like them all! I love watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade though, and both versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
I just love the idea of something like a Halloween deity.
Always anticipate Psych (& to lesser extent Monk) Christmas episodes. Such a welcome treat when the show won’t return for months.
“A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!” Stephen can do no wrong.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is my all-time favorite.
