    How we forget the most politically pointed Christmas special of all: The Star Wars Holiday Special. Its tale of how one Wookie family's Life Day was almost ruined by a government encroaching on its civil liberties is more relevant now than ever before.

    I think "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" deserves a mention as well, since it and its freaky Archipelago of Last Year may very well be the foundation and inspiration for "Lost." Charles Widmore and Ben Linus are just human stand-ins for Rudolph and Eon the Buzzard and the island's inhabitants are their Baby New Year...or something.

    I always thought the Cold Miser was a gay character. Am I wrong?

    Heat Miser and Cold Miser are totally gay.
    And I'm pretty sure that Mother Nature procreated through invitro, unless she was doing it with Father Time.

    Yeah, I've seen Hermey signing up anti-Prop 8 petitioners at the Castro Muni station.

    I have fond memories of the Heat Miser (best song in a musical Christmas special ever), but had no memory of the plot that it sprung out of. That is one convoluted plot.

    Does anyone remember "'Twas the Night Before Christmas?" Joel Grey is in it, and the gist of it is Santa is a DICK who skips giving presents to a whole town because one little boy doesn't believe in him. Clocks are involved in ways I can't recall. The moral is basically to not use evidence to prove things right or wrong, but to believe in shit in spite of yourself. Then all of your dreams will come true. It's a horrible lesson.But "Muppet Family Christmas" is the best. Watch out for the icy patch!

    Obviously this was a societal statement about the national fiber crisis that hit in the mid 1980's, and so, of course, Motowning raisins could cure all that ailed the American colon.

    holy shit, that's one long unapproved comment. I made it through, but I had to break in the middle for breakfast.

    Also, that chipmunk is going to tear through his stash and then have nothing left for winter. you should be ashamed.

    I love any story printed in any major newspaper that starts with the word "okay." Style section still counts.

    In fairness, though, a newspaper published the Saturday after Thanksgiving may as well not exist.
