Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes

TODAY'S MIGHT SEES

"Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade," 7 a.m., ABC. This annual Disney special tends to offer lots of spectacle, hype and music. This one will be stuffed with people from ABC's sister network, the Disney Channel. That includes Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus from "Hannah Montana," the Jonas Brothers from "Camp Rock," Corbin Bleu from "High School Musical" and the "Imagination Movers" crew. Also performing: "American Idol" winner David Cook, Sarah Brightman and the cast of Broadway's "Mary Poppins."

OF NOTE

Marathons. "A Christmas Story" (1983), the dark and witty recollection of a 1940s holiday continues its 24-hour marathon on TBS; that's every two hours, with the final one at 4 p.m. The animated "Ice Age 2: Meltdown" (2006) pauses briefly for infomercials, then continues every two hours on FX, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
