This year, Dec. 25 is on a Friday, so there’s still a lot of yuletide viewing left to do. While virtually all of them already have done so this month, many networks will be responding in kind this week with seasonal specials and movies. Here are several of the holiday highlights. “The Sound of Music” (Sunday, Dec. 20, ABC): While it’s not literally a Christmas movie, the Julie Andrews-starring Rodgers & Hammerstein musical is a holiday-season favorite ... and this is the 1965 Oscar winners sing-along edition that displays the song lyrics on the screen. “Holiday Baking Championship” (Dec. 20, Food Network): It’s the moment of truth for the last three contestants in the finale of this competition, as host Bobby Deen gives them marching - er, baking — orders that include making a sugar-cookie tree. “Christmas With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Featuring Santino Fontana and the Sesame Street Muppets” (Monday, Dec. 21, PBS; check local listings): Seen lately on The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” Broadway veteran Fontana joins some familiar faces from PBS’ daytime lineup who make their first-ever appearance with the choir for a festival of holiday tunes. “Miracle on 34th Street” (Dec. 21, AMC): The recent passing of star Maureen O’Hara makes this 1947 film classic, about a department-store Santa (Oscar winner Edmund Gwenn) who claims to be the real thing, somewhat bittersweet this season. “I Love Lucy Christmas Special” (Wednesday, Dec. 23, CBS): The “Christmas Episode” that has been shown in the past two years’ editions now is partnered with one of the sitcom’s most classic tales, “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” - newly colorized, and featuring Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) getting intoxicated on Vitameatavegamin. “Happy Holidays With Bing and Frank” (Dec. 23, Turner Classic Movies): Here’s a true relic, a principally musical 1957 special pairing two of the top entertainers of their time ... a year after they’d starred in the movie “High Society.” “It’s a Wonderful Life” (Thursday, Dec. 24, NBC): A Christmas Eve tradition of more than 40 years is maintained as director Frank Capra’s 1946 classic, starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, gets its traditional telecast. “A Christmas Story” (Dec. 24, TBS and TNT): Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) still wants that Red Ryder air rifle - and between the 24-hour marathons on the two networks, he’ll have lots of chances to get it, since the nostalgic 1983 movie comedy will start every hour on the hour on one network or the other. “Disney Parks Unforgettable Christmas Celebration” (Friday, Dec. 25, ABC): Mickey Mouse and friends will be on screens again this Christmas morning, as the annual special is presented from the Disneyowned theme parks. “The Andy Griffith Christmas Special” (Dec. 25, CBS): Another classic comedy follows in the footsteps of “I Love Lucy” by teaming and colorizing two classic episodes, “The Christmas Story” and “The Pickle Story.”

NBC gives the movie classic "It's a Wonderful Life" its annual Christmas Eve showing Thursday.

movjeæview ‘Mockingjay - Part 2’ BY JAY BOBBIN

If you’re not immersed in the world of “The Hunger Games” already, “Mockingjay Part 2” is not the place to start - not only because its the last of the four movies in the series, but also because its not remotely concerned with getting you caught up at this point. “Part 2” picks up precisely where last year’s “Part 1” left off, with Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss in mortal peril from someone unexpected. She recovers pretty quickly, though, and continues her quest to eliminate the president who’s wrought havoc on her multifactioned society. That’s fellow returnee Donald Sutherland. Getting to him is tough, given all the traps that have been set around the capitol - and those challenges take the place of the teen-against-teen Hunger Games that started the series. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) treats those with his usual visual flair and efficient pacing, particularly when some not-so-human beings are factored in. Despite the presence of such Oscar winners as Lawrence, Julianne Moore and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, plus fellow returnees Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson, “Mockingjay: Part 2” feels like a let’s-just-get-to-the-end venture (and also overlong). It’s a given that when a series reaches its end, it’s obligated to tie up the loose ends, especially for devotees ... but you almost can hear the checklist being read off as each plot point is met and taken care of. When she made the original “Hunger Games,” Lawrence wasn’t an Oscar winner yet, and the challenging work she found afterward in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle” might have made he role of Katniss seem more confining to her than it was at first. The character had pretty much a single aim that’s fulfilled this time, and you have to credit the actress with seeing her obligation to it through. Even if her latest performance isn’t surprising, it’s sturdy, and that’s enough for her duties here.

Jennifer Lawrence

The thought that “The Hunger Games” has stayed around maybe one film too many is understandable, but it only makes sense to finish up author Suzanne Collins’ stories about the survival contest and its aftermath. With that said, established fans of the franchise may enjoy “Mockingjay - Part 2,” but the best hasn’t been saved for last.

“Making a Murderer,” www.netflix.com/title/80000770 In 2007, Steven Avery was convict­ ed for a photographer’s murder and sentenced to life in prison, this after being freed after 18 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. Directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos have spent the last decade docu­ menting this real-life thriller that spans more than 30 years and the result is this riveting 10-part series. “Church Night TV,” www.churchnight.org/webserles/ Adapted from a stage show, this comedy/variety series parodies a Middle America church service with its blend of monologs, sketches and music. The congregation (aka the audience) takes an active part in the service throughout the proceedings, which culminate with the “Shots n’ Tots” communion, in which parishio­ ners consume a shot of whiskey and a single tater tot. Roman Catholic view­ ers, brace yourselves for blasphemy.

GIVE YOUR CABINETS AND FLOORS A FACELIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

For a lot of people, nothing says Christmas like a nice, tall glass of spiked eggnog. But for Jack Maxwell, South Boston native and the host of Travel Channel’s Tuesday series “Booze Traveler,” Irish whiskey takes him back. “I grew up in an Irish neighborhood,” he says, “which it seemed everybody had (Irish whiskey) out on the counter at Christmas. No matter how well or not well they were doing in life, they’d always have a nice bottle of Irish whiskey - including my great grandmother, who lived to be 101, probably because of all the Irish whiskey nips she took.” “I think it was the drink all the time,” he says, laughing. “I don’t think it was just Christmas.” Maxwell, now in his second season as host of the series that takes him around the world in search of the most exotic, tasty and downright strange cocktails, doesn’t have much use for eggnog, except around the holidays. And while he’s never been on the road filming the series at Christmas - and therefore never got to sample any official Christmas beverages from other countries - he has encountered a few that for him that evoke the holiday. Take, for instance, an Austrian concoction known as zirbinschnaps. “(It) is basically made from the tar of a pine cone,” he explains. “And you whirl it around in the water and you put a ton of sugar in it, of course, and it tastes like a liquid Christmas tree. Not just a pine cone, because they put other things in there that they don’t tell you about.” “And of course it sits there for a long time. It must because that can be very strong - there’s a reason we don’t eat pine cones for survival. But it’s really good and of course, sugar masks a lot of things. But they’ve been doing it right there forever. And who am I to say? Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s strange.”

What book are you currently reading?

541 779-9663 -

What did you have for dinner last night? “My mother and stepfather cooked a beautiful salmon out on the grill with some risotto and a nice salad. It was really a sweet and simple homecooked meal, which I die to have on the road.”

What is your next project? “I hope it’s this. I’d love to keep doing ‘Booze Traveler.’ To see the world and meet people is one of the great things. I didn’t make up this quote but I read it somewhere. It said, ‘If you don’t travel, it’s like reading only one page of a book.’ And that’s so true.

When was your last vacation, where and why?

“The last book I was reading was ‘Illusions’ “I just got back from a week away in Phoenix, by Richard Bach, which is an old book. He also where my folks live - my mother and stepfather wrote ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’ And it’s just a and nieces and friends. ... And I got to just chill beautiful story about how life can kind of be what out with my family and have some home cooking you want it to be and it’s very simply stated. ... A and see the folks, and that to me is the best great follow-up to ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’ ” vacation.’

Ah, Christmas — a day filled with family, friends, food and — let’s be honest — liberal amounts of consumerism. And since we’re in the consuming mood on this Friday, Dec. 25, why not sit down and take in five games and 12-plus hours of NBA action courtesy of ESPN and ABC? It’s the perfect way to remove yourself from the holiday hubbub while your food coma runs its course. Opening things up at midday (ET) on ESPN is a battle of the haves and have-nots as Dwyane Wade and the Southeast Divisionleading Miami Heat play host to Anthony Davis and the Southwesttrailing New Orleans Pelicans. If nothing else, this game should offer a glimpse of the old guard versus the new in terms of the game’s top power forwards, with Heat veteran Chris Bosh being matched up against the Pelicans’ up-and-coming star Davis. That’s followed in midafternoon on ABC by a clash of teams that are expected to be playing well into spring as Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls drop in on Kevin Durant and the Northwest-leading Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bulls got the better of the Thunder when these teams last met on Nov. 5 in Chicago, when Rose scored 29 points and looked like his old MVP self in leading the Bulls to a 104-89 victory. Then in early evening on ABC, it’s a rematch of last June’s NBA Finals as Stephen Curry and the Pacific-leading Golden State Warriors welcome in LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the first place team from the Central. This is the first meeting between these teams since last spring, when the Warriors vanquished the Cavs in six games to win the franchise’s first league title in 40 years. Back on ESPN in prime time, a battle of the Lone Star State plays out as LaMarcus Aldridge and the Southwest-leading San Antonio Spurs pay a visit to Dwight Howard and the talented though struggling Houston Rockets. This is the first meeting between these division rivals this season. Closing out the day’s slate in late night on ESPN is a clash of the two Los Angeles teams as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers take on Blake Griffin and the Clippers. Unless he has a change of heart, Bryant will be making his final Christmas day appearance in a Lakers uniform, as he has announced that this season will be his last. This is the first game between these Pacific rivals this season.

opening scene There isn't enough space here for everything we love about this 1 983 movie - which gets its annual 24-hour marathon from both TBS and TNT starting Thursday, Dec. 24 - but we'll start at the beginning, with youngsters' faces pressed up against the front window of a department store as they marvel at the holiday display. The maternal warning "You'll shoot your eye out," says Mom (Melinda Dillon) to Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) about the Red Ryder air rifle he wants so desperately.

In the sports world, the NBA owns Christmas day with a full slate of games airing throughout the day. An evening contest features one of the leagues brightest young stars in Kawhi Leonard, whose San Antonio Spurs visit the Houston Rockets at 7pm EST on ESPN. Leonard is the latest in a long string of quality players in the Spurs franchise that has won five championships since 1999. The MVP of the Spurs’ latest title in 2014, Leonard made it obvious that he was a more than a suitable heir-apparent to players like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili who were all part of previous championship teams. Leonard was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 15th pick in the 2011 NBA draft only to be immediately traded to the Spurs. In just his second season the Spurs reached the NBA Finals, losing in game seven to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. A year later Leonard would earn MVP honors when the Spurs turned the tables on the Heat, winning the Finals that year 4-1. The Forward played through injuries in the 2014/2015 season and still was honored as the NBAs Defensive Player of the Year. So far, he’s off to a solid start this season, including a career high 32-point effort in a season opening loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. At season’s end, Leonard could be in the running for a roster spot on the 2016 USA Men’s Olympic basketball team in Rio.

Late Night with Seth Meyers The parent company of the dating app Tinder launched their IPO stock offering today. Though if you really want to make money off of Tinder, invest in penicillin. Today is Great American Smokeout Day, which encourages smokers to try and go 24 hours without having a cigarette. Which means tomorrow is Best Cigarette of Your Life Day. A protester had to be escorted out of a Donald Trump rally last night for yelling, 'Trump's a racist/7 The protester was removed because the Trump campaign has that phrase copyrighted. Drug makers Pfizer and Allergan today announced a $1 60 billion merger. It's the largest pharmaceutical merger since the one that takes place every day in Keith Richards' stomach.

Late Show With Stephen Colbert It's late November, the weather's getting crisp, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for People magazine's "sexiest man alive" issue. It's got David Beckham on the cover. Spoiler alert — he's sexy. After the attacks in Paris, I don't want to talk about ISIS, or "ISIL," or "Daesh," or "P. Diddy," or whatever we're supposed to call them this week.

The Late Late Show With James Corden We are just 15 days away from when "Time" magazine chooses its annual person of the year. There's an online poll where readers can vote for their pick, and currently leading in that online poll is Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders. This is ironic, because I'm not sure Bernie Sanders has ever even been online.

Jimmy Kimmel Live It occurred to me that football is essentially a very organized version of a game I play with my 1 6-month-old daughter called "I'm going to get you." Next time you watch football where a quarterback hands the ball off to a running back, imagine everyone on the other team is saying, "I'm going to get you!"
