Holiday giveaway: Vintage sitcoms with a holiday twist

We're going way, way back for today's giveaway.

First we have "Merry Sitcom!" -- a collection of holiday episodes from some of television's most classic sitcoms. The DVD includes one Christmas episode each from "Father Knows Best," "The Donna Reed Show," "McHale's Navy," "Bewitched," "That Girl," "The Flying Nun" and "Window on Main Street." I have never heard of that last show, but the DVD calls it a "never-before-released episode."

If these shows appeal to you, you'll probably also like "Hazel," the early 1960s sitcom starring Oscar and Emmy Award winner Shirley Booth as "the sassy, energetic live-in maid who runs her employers' household with a little havoc, a lot of style and a lot more laughter."

"Hazel" was based on original cartoons from The Saturday Evening Post magazine, which is something I never knew till now! We have the complete second season, which is 32 episodes.

If you want to win these DVDs, send me an email by midnight tonight and you'll be in the drawing. Include your mailing address. I'll notify the winner tomorrow.

Let the giving begin! First up, holly jolly sitcoms...

Is there a better way to get into the spirit of the season than watching a holiday-themed TV episode?

The Happiness answer: NO!
