Upcoming Little People Big World episodes, including a holiday special and the episode dealing with Mike Detjen's passing

There are plenty of exciting episodes upcoming, including a two-episode holiday special on December 15.

The December 22 episodes, however, deal with the passing of dear family friend, Mike Detjen, who was like a brother to Matt and Amy and an uncle to the kids. He passed away in early June. Given how close Mike was to the Roloffs, this should prove to be a difficult show to watch.
