This is one show I never miss during this time of year. It always makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it. It's Clyde and Seamore's Countdown to Christmas.

This Christmas season is about giving and sharing. Some families here in Central Florida and around the U.S. are in need this Holiday season. Many are struggling to provide food for their families and with just 19 days till Christmas some children will not be getting any presents. Please help out if you can even a small donation will make a BIG difference in your community.
