Since its first airing in 1966, this adaptation of the Dr. Seuss children's book has evolved into an annual hol- iday viewing tradition. Leg- endary animator Chuck Jones directed the story about a green-skinned grouch who sets out to spoil Christmas for the citizens of Whoville. Boris Karloff provides narra- tion, with additional voices by Thurl Ravenscroft and June Foray. "Fame" co-star Albert Hague was the co-composer of the theme music. This year's airing marks the 55th anniversary of the first tele- cast. 8 p.m. on HGTV Holmes Family Rescue In the new episode "We Have Lift Off," Mike Holmes and his children rush to the rescue of a woman struggling with a desperate situation. Just as she was approaching her due date to give birth, she and her partner were scammed by a contractor who left them with an absolute mess of a kitchen. Before the Holmeses can even start to make the space more accessible, though, they first must fix the dangerous structural issues these shady characters left behind. 8 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Writing Around the Christmas Tree Romance novelist Mikaela Leighton (Krystal Joy Brown) has a successful career, but little luck when it comes to her own love life. Worse, she's struggling with writer's block. Determined to find a way around it, Mikaela de- cides to revive her late moth- er's holiday writers retreat at a snowy chalet, where she meets Levi McGuire (Curtis Hamilton), a non-fiction writer with some strong opinions he is not reluctant to share. They clash, but he succeeds in convincing Mikaela that she shouldn't write about love if she's afraid to go for it herself. 9:07 p.m. on WNIT B Call the Midwife This year's edition of this his- torical drama's traditional hol - iday episode opens in 1966, as Lucille and Cyril (Leonie Elliott, Zephryn Taitte) pre- pare for their winter wedding. Meanwhile, the Nonnatus House team faces its busiest Christmas Day ever, as ex- pectant mothers — each with her own challenging issues — fill the maternity home. Fortunately, Mother Mildred (Miriam Margolyes) is pres- ent to lend her support. SportS movieS FAmily SpeciAlS
