"The Year Without a Santa Claus"...Heat and Cold Miser crack me up! :lol:

by **donnaplease** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:20 am

My personal preference is for "The Year Without A Santa Claus", but my daughter is here with me, and she chose "Rudolph".

by **Rhiannon** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:24 am

I chose "Rudolph". Always my favorite as a child, but a close draw with "Mickey's Christmas Carol"... Rudolph won out because the other used to scare me when the ghost ripped the roof off Scrooge's house. :lol:

I'm Mr. Green Christmas, I'm Mr. Sun, I'm Mr. Heat Miser, I'm Mr. Hundred and One.....

Love The Year Without Santa Claus!

by **Sassie** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:45 am

I voted for Rudolph. It has always been my favorite. Here is a link where you can watch a bunch of these specials online. If you scroll down there are music videos and stuff too. http://www.fanpop.com/spots/christmas/soapbox/64

It's a hard call to say which one I prefer over the others. I used to like them all when I was a tiny kid, and now I like them all just for that reason alone. But if I had to choose which one I liked over the others, my choice is not listed, which was How The Grinch Stole Christmas:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Gr ... ristmas%21

As a child, we all got the most laughs from when the Grinch straps the horns on the dog and uses him as a reindeer. Then their going house to house stuffing everything up the chimney as possible and then when it's all done, you got this tiny dog pulling this friggin mountain of shit on a sleigh. All that just was so amusing to us.

Not so sure it has anything at all to do with Christmas or the holiday season, but at the same time during my childhood, they would run on TV the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Since they ran it right around Christmas time every year, I always was under the impression that movie had something to do with Christmas as well. I liked that movie also and associated it with Christmas because of the timing it would air. Last time I seen it was perhaps 1971. It was funny to me back then, but if I saw it now, I'd probably think it was stupid and have to turn it off.

I chose Charlie Brown Christmas - the dancing scenes alone are worth it!

I have to go with all of those people who said A YEAR WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS for the Heat Miser & Snow Miser. Gotta love them. They are on my desktop now!

Christmas Vacation

by **ebake02** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 8:14 am

My favorite is A Christmas Story.

by **conversationpc** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 8:20 am

I can't vote on this. Where the hell is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", the cartoon, not the movie. Easily the best.

by **Moon Beam** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 8:25 am

Ole Chuck gets my vote, he's been my comic strip fave for my whole life.

lol, that one gets my vote. hard to beat boris karloff and chuck jones

by **Higgy** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 8:57 am

Yeah, I can't believe I forgot the Grinch. However, I will say that the stupid Jim Carrey movie destroyed the whole thing for me.

Mickey's Christmas Carol for me. When Scrooge forecloses on the honeymoon cottage, it seals it.

by **nikki** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:55 pm

Love all the ones listed above, but Rudolph usually kicks the season off for me.

by **Journey Mom** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:21 pm

How can you possibly be go wrong with Charlie Brown? I remember waiting for it to show every year on tv. It was magical when it came out on VHS. I must have watched it countless times even I was already old by then.

Nice to know we see eye to eye on this. That was the cartoon I was talking about earlier in this thread. And yes, the cartoon, not that crapola that Carey put out.

I'd like to see a South Park Christmas Special. That would be hillarious I think.

For some reason that one has always been a favorite of mine too. Have watched that one for more years than I can remember.

I'd rather stick my face in a wood chipper than watch ANY of those listed shows. I'll watch It's A Wonderful Life only because it involves drinking, driving and forgetting shit. Things I can relate to. :lol:

i like a christmas story too.all that boy wants is a red rider bb gun.i love the part where his tongue gets stuck to the pole,lol. :lol:

For my money, it's Charlie Brown. I've always loved that one. The Grinch, Rudolph, and the Year Without A Santa Claus are pretty darn good, too, but there's something about Charlie Brown. Maybe it's because I've always identified with him. :shock:

My kids love Charlie Brown now, too, which is pretty cool.

There are some great Christmas episodes. The whole series originated from the short video Stone and Parker created that pitted Santa against Jesus. You can watch it here:

Be careful, lots of F bombs.

by **The Sushi Hunter** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:37 am

Awesome! Thanks for posting that up. I didn't even know it existed until now. Someone I know tells me that this was the first South Park episode. I watched the first minute or so and I'll have to watch it later on when it's safe for me to, with the volume up and the F bombs flying. :lol:

Cartman's hillarious and I'll check it out later. I'll say this is so far my favorite Christmas special in my adult life.

Thanks!
