MOVIES
A Very Brady Christmas
Wednesday, Dec. 21, 8-10 p.m. (ABC Family)

It’s a Wonderful Life
Saturday, Dec. 24, 8-11 p.m. (NBC)
Even if you just watched it on Dec. 10, it will still add nicely to the background ambience while you’re wrapping presents. (Yes, you can switch on the former president’s narration again, if you feel it would be prudent at this juncture.)

A Home for the Holidays
Wednesday, Dec. 21, 8-9 p.m. (CBS)
Sheryl Crow, Toni Braxton, Yolanda Adams, and the Goo Goo Dolls are all performers on the annual special that promotes adoption.
