For me, the holidays require a huge dose of Peanuts, which A Boy Named Charlie Brown (ABC Family, Saturday, 8 PM) and Snoopy Come Home (ABC Family, Saturday, 9 PM) amply provide.

Similarly, you can watch Man-Eating Prides (Saturday, 8 pm, National Geographic). I did not know that lions in Tanzania have killed more than 500 people since 1990. Note to self: cross Tanzania off vacation list.

Elf (Saturday, 9 pm, USA) remains my favorite Will Farrell man-child role.

I know you're just dying to watch The Santa Claus 2 (Disney, Saturday, 9 PM), ya sorry sap!

I think Ruby (Style, Sunday, 8 PM) is the only show about a woman dieting that will also prominently feature a thunderstorm.

And if a thunderstorm is not enough destruction for you, there's bound to be a corpse or two on Dexter (Showtime, Sunday, 9 PM).

Britney Spears: For the Record (MTV, Sunday, 10 PM) is probably not going to blow your mind or anything.
