Turned on The Ghost and the Guest (1943) because it has Sam McDaniel (Hattie and Etta McDaniel's brother) and was written by Morey Amsterdam (Buddy on The Dick Van Dyke Show).
It's a comedy about a newly-wed couple staying in an old dilapidated house they think is haunted.
The reviews in the day were pretty terrible, but modern day reviews recognise it as a farce of the haunted-house stories that were popular in the day. It's a general B comedy with some fun moments, incompetent coppers, including the man trying to call his bride-to-be on their wedding day and unable to get through for over an hour sending her a telegram to 'get off that blankety-blank phone.'

Have a Shiny and Hap Hap Happy New Year
"Rudolph’s Shiny New Year" (1976), the sequel to "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer," is admired for its originality, superb animation, and engaging music.
Typically, I save this one for New Year’s Eve, but for YOU, I will watch this a few weeks early. “Rudolph’s Shiny New Year,” (1976) the sequel to “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,” is one of my favorites. Where I didn’t care much for the first TV movie growing up, I was always excited to watch this one. I’ve said that “The Year Without a Santa Claus” was my second favorite Rankin/Bass Christmas…
