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!

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!

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!

You know, I quite enjoy that Star Wars tv thing that shows the struggles of ordinary folks living under imperial occupation. I am, of course, talking about The Star Wars Holiday Special!

I’m not entirely joking. I was a little kid when I first saw it, and Chewie having an ordinary family delighted me. They were normal, relatable folks just trying to celebrate annual holiday, but here comes the empire. The imperial troops have no trouble forcing merchants to give them things for free or maliciously tearing apart a young child’s stuffed toy.

In fact, again as a little kid, thinking Chewie’s family was out there somewhere, proud but worrying, added something to it all. Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, the droids…none of them had loved ones endangered by their activities, but with Chewie there was risk. And it was a risk that represented what the population forced to lived under the empire suffered. Of course, this was all wrapped up in the trapping of a 1970’s variety show special like the majority of live action holiday shows of that era**.

I adore Andor. I can honestly say it’s one of my favorite Star Wars things ever. But maybe part of my love is just that grown up me is not that different than tiny me.

See, I’m interested in the folks that we don’t usually see as the stories follow the heroes and villains. The pain of a child whose beloved toy is wrecked by bullying adults is distinctly emotionally relatable in a way that a princess having her world destroyed can’t be. It isn’t that I can’t enjoy epic scale stuff, but I always find myself thinking about the poor canon fodder, the ones without names, the ones that own the car the superhero throws or is the cleaning staff at the big bad’s base when it gets blown up, the people stuck living messy lives in the worlds the legends shape.

Anyway, tonight I’m just thinking Andor and The Star Wars Holiday Special, one them highly acclaimed and other so maligned they have tried to bury it, have more in common than I thought. I mean more than a place in my affections.***

**Though honestly, it is NOT the worst of these. A few years ago I saw a Sesame Street one that aired on one of the networks. Now I don’t know why when PBS had their own classic Christmas Eve on Sesame Street they would also let a network do one of their typical Christmas special. Ok, money. Anyway, I expect such specials were less irritating when they were spun around singers or comedians, not characters.

*** I have to admit there is a LOT of Star Wars I don’t like much. In fact I gotta admit there may be more I don’t care for than I actually like at this point. That’s all vintages. It’s not just “new sucks, old good” like you see in long in the tooth fandoms. For example, I think I feel about those Ewok tv movies from the 1980s like others feel about the holiday special, but I really like The Last Jedi.
