Cheap Cheer

SANTA ON CHANNEL 7

Although this holiday season mostly hails the arrival of the fat guy in the red suit (not my uncle Monty), one of the sure signs of the days of jolly is the annual television airings of yuletide classics. Well, this year you can catch everything from 1964's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to perhaps TV's most beloved Christmas message, the ageless 1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas, at the Museum of Television and Radio. Don't miss the real Grinch (as voiced by Boris Karloff), along with The Weinerville Chanukah Special and rarely seen dramatic programs such as M*A*S*H and Rod Serling's version of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol,"Carol for Another Christmas. Call for schedule. Through December 30, Museum of Television and Radio, 25 West 52nd Street, 621-6800. $10 adults, $5 children. (ABER)
