Obscure Christmas Special recommendations
Christmas is almost here but I still thought I’d share some fun things to watch during the holiday. Most of these are surrounded by my hyperfixatjons so a lot of animated/puppetry content. And are in no particular order
1)
Christmas Eve Sesame Street
youtube
Multiple plot lines going on here but the main plot is about Oscar making big bird worrying about if Santa Claus can't fit through peoples chimneys he won't come. There's also some very good original songs and a sweet subplot with Ernie and bert
2)
Snowden’s Raggedy Ann and Andy holiday show.
youtube
A skating special follows the story of a circus-based around the raggedy Ann and Andy dolls (maybe?) they host a show each year where they make children's wishes come true with the help of the rag dolls and a magical mirror.
3) Shining Time Station (Tis a Gift)
If your unaware of what shining time station is. It is a show delvopled to to bring Thomas the tank engine to the us (due to the episodes 5 minute runtime) so the rest of the show is a framing device with original stories in a train station and other content.
As the adults bicker over playing Santa's Helper in the holiday pageant, Matt and Tanya are left with Vicki, a little girl unwilling to experience the joys of the season. A mysterious passenger, Mr. Nicholas (Lloyd Bridges), arrives, and makes a lasting impression on Vicki. He teaches her the spirit of the holidays, a gift no money could buy.
4)
Olive the other reindeer
youtube
When Santa cancels his annual flight because of a hurt reindeer, a young Christmas loving dog named Olive is convinced she has what it takes to get Santa's flight off the ground and save Christmas.
5)
youtube
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (1948)
An adaptation before the classic we know today. Except with a splash of uncanny rubber house animation.
6)
A Muppets Family Christmas
youtube
A holiday special featuring like almost every series that can go under the muppets label (ie the muppets, Sesame Street, fraggle rock)
When Fozzie and the Muppet Show gang drop in unexpectedly on Fozzie's mother, she is forced to cancel her winter vacation plans and entertain them all. Soon the Sesame Street gang comes by as carolers, and then Kermit and his nephew Robin discover a Fraggle Rock hole in the basement. A snowstorm blows in, stranding everyone at the house, except for Miss Piggy, who arrives just in time for all the Muppets to celebrate Christmas together.
Those are all I can think of now!
Happy holidays and hope these give you some enjoyment!

It went from Christmas movie soundtracks to punk compilations. As it should.

The Countdown Is On!
I can't believe that there is only TWO more days until Christmas! This month. this year has just flown by! I can't lie 2022 has been a turd of a year and I am happy that it is almost at an end.
While I am looking forward to the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, I can't let the holiday come and go without another top 5 list to get you in a festive mood.
Today I am going to deck your halls with my top 5 Christmas specials! Long before streaming services and physical media, specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas could only be viewed once a year, unless "taped" off of TV during the broadcast.
Shows like this were an event. No matter what you were doing you made sure that you were bathed, in front of the TV, snack in hand, and ready when it came on. I miss those days, simpler times indeed.
Enough reminiscing, on to the list!
Tumblr media
5. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
youtube
A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely one of my favorite holiday offerings. A very relatable tale especially growing up Catholic and having participated in several Christmas pageants showcasing the Nativity story. I still volunteer for our church's live nativity :)
4. Frosty the Snowman (1969)
youtube
Ah... Frosty the Snowman, not only when this was airing did it mean Christmas was not too far off, but also painted a great picture of how that first snow made you feel as a kid. Snow always did seem like a magical event back then. It sparked imagination and creativity in your outdoor play, and it also had the ability to give you a day off from school! Today I could take or leave snow, mostly leave, but watching Frosty on wintry day with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, wrapped in a blanket and on the couch, you can easily be transported back in time.
3. A Claymation Christmas Celebration (1987)
youtube
A Claymation Christmas Celebration was extra special because it was, at the time a brand-new Christmas special. If you look at the previous entries on this list, they all predated me. The Claymation Christmas was riding on the success that the California Raisins stop motion animation advertisements were having. Classic Christmas carols were showcased such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" being performed by the California Raisins and a comical bell-choir performance of "Carol of the Bells." In between the performances the dinosaur hosts Rex and Herb go back and forth on the appropriate title and lyrics to "Here We Come A-Wassailing."
The show's creator Will Vinton had released similar specials that predate this one, but I was never aware of them until I got the DVD that included A Claymation Christmas Celebration and the other holiday themed shorts.
If you have never seen this, I highly recommend seeking it out.
2. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (1978)
youtube
I shared a brief post about this special earlier, but Christmas Eve on Sesame Street was one of my favorites and holds a special place in my heart.
I don't recall this being on every year or catching it when it was on but the memories around this are what have it in my number two spot.
I remember one Christmas eve when I was too little to go to the evening Mass and I was home with my mom. I just remember watching this while she got things ready for the company that we would have over later that night. The two stand out memories for me were when Cookie Monster trying to write a last-minute letter to Santa eats his pencil and then later tries to call but eats the phone and near the end seeing the snow fall on Big Bird as he tries to wait up for Santa and falls asleep. I always felt bad for Big Bird because Oscar was a jerk to him.
It wouldn't be until many years later where I bought the DVD and re-watched for the first time in a long time.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
youtube
For years, at least in my mind, this was the big-time event. Christmas was here! With commercial breaks included Rudolph was an hour-long event. All other specials were just a half-hour so you knew this was special, and it was and still is today.
Rudolph was always very relatable as I think at some point in every child's life the sometimes feel like a "misfit." In the end however, the misfittiest of them all proves to be the most useful and is tasked with leading.
And there you have it, another list in the books. With so many good specials from the past, it was hard to pick my top five, but I did it and have no regrets!
What are some of your favorite Christmas specials? I would love to know.
Have a great Christmas!

Sometime people don't understand how I can be both an atheist and very, very into Christmas, but the answer is simple: I grew up watching the Muppets.
The Muppets have always treated Christmas as a time of family and love, and that's what I celebrate. This is perhaps best encapsulated in The Christmas Wish (first seen in the John Denver Christmas special), but it's in literally every single Muppet Christmas special (and there are a lot).
I don't know if you believe in Christmas, or if you have presents underneath the Christmas tree. But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough for you to come and celebrate with me. For I have held the precious gift that love brings even though I've never saw a Christmas star. But I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside, and I can see it shining from afar. Christmas is a time to come together, a time to put all differences aside. And I reach out my hand to the family of man to share the joy I feel at Christmas time.
youtube
Or, if you want to talk about "miracles" and the "magic of Christmas," that's covered by Sesame Street:
I believe in miracles and I can tell you why Once a year the street I live on sparkles like the sky All hung with lights for Christmas Twinkling ev'rywhere The world turns bright for Christmas And if that isn't a true blue miracle I don't know what one is
youtube
And that's why I love Christmas. :)
