THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with BILLY MACK! Because "Christmas Is All Around."

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS:  Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.  Mental Floss has "The Real Story Behind A Charlie Brown Christmas (and why it almost wasn't shown)."

NORAD will be tracking Santa Monday night, per usual.

THE FLAMING LIPS perform "White Christmas" as only they can.

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS:  The real deal, not Jim Carrey.  Then he slunk to the ice box. He took the Whos' feast. He took the who pudding, he took the roast beast. He emptied the ice box as quick as a flash. Why, the Grinch even took the last can of who hash.  BONUS:  The late Phil Hartman hosted a documentary on the making of the cartoon classic.

DAVID BOWIE & BING CROSBY'S cross-generational duet o­n "Little Drummer Boy."

THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS:  Many people believe human activity is causing global warming.  I blame Heatmiser.

CHICAGO CHRISTMAS MEMORIES:  If you grew up in Chicago (and I suspect other places), the season is not complete without watching the short cartoons of "Hardrock, Coco & Joe" (a story fantastic, a story so queer), "Suzy Snowflake" and the jazzy version of "Frosty the Snowman."

THE BEATLES fan club messages for 1963, 1964, 1965. 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969.

HOLIDAY BIN:  Your stocking stuffers -- from Sinatra to Sufjan, from Elvis to El Vez -- are streaming from the Pate page at the ol' HM.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: Pate even had a song titled "Rope Around The Moon," so watch the whole thing.

NOW SHOWING:  This weekend's wide releases are: National Treasure: Book of Secrets, currently scoring 43 percent on th ol' Tomatometer; Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, which is currently scoring 80 percent; Charlie Wilson's War, which is scoring 78 percent; P.S. I Love You, scoring 14 percent; and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, scoring 87 percent.  Atonement and Juno continue to expand -- to 297 and 304 screens, respectively.  BONUS:  Here's a fresh link to the first few minutes of Charlie Wilson's War, and a re-link to the first ten minutes of Walk Hard.

THE RAMONES:  "Merry Christmas, Baby (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)."

RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER:  Pull up an ice block and lend an ear!  Herbie wanted to be a dentistNTTAWWT.  BONUS:  Here's a re-link to the AFLAC commercial.

FESTIVUS:  For the rest of us.  It has been a very happy holiday for the Wagner Co. in Milwaukee, Wisc.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE MENTALLY DISTURBED:  It was meant to be a lighthearted seasonal reflection on a serious subject. But not everyone got the joke.  Who'da Thunkit?

NAT KING COLE:  His chestnuts are roasting.
