Christmas TV episodes are a living thing, or a moving target, depending on your point of view. New ones are always airing, and your own perspective on the holiday changes, too.
So a personal Top 10 feels ephemeral. Recently revisiting those I chose a few years back for my book "Christmas on Television," I found myself less enchanted with several, more enamored of others, and wondering whether newer shows were ready to join the best-ever list.
Or whether a best-ever list made sense at all, considering how some folks love sentiment while others prefer seasonal subversion, and those preferences don't always intersect.
In other words, here's my Top 10 Christmas episodes list, as of today, starting with subversion and moving into sentiment. Unless, of course, my mood shifts while I'm writing. (All are available on DVD, with other viewing options noted below.)
