"Year Without a Santa Clause" is always fun, for the Mrs. C/Jingle&Jangle/Heat Meiser/Cold Meiser/Mother Nature sequences.

Rudolph is on this week, and it's probably my sentimental favorite Christmas special. Unfortunately, it's on opposite Lost, so I'll have to torrent it. *g*

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
refreshingly morbid
Kathy, may I please tag this?
Rudolph is on opposite Lost? That tears it. Rudolph gets watched live, Lost will be taped. Some holiday traditions are sacred.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I can watch Rudolph any time I want.

Sure, Anne!
Since it's the last new ep until January, and I can only tune into one show at a time (stupid digital cable box!), I guess I'll be watching Lost. The Snowman always gave the creeps, anyway.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
My favorite Christmas movie is, without a doubt, The Muppets Christmas Carol.
Next is likely Scrooged.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Popping in to rub my hands gleefully and cackle about the main accomplishment of the evening: successfully wooing Emmett away from his five hundredth viewing of "Teen Titans" and pimping the Marx Brothers to him. We watched A Day At The Races and he loves them. Even sat through the Chico and Harpo musical interludes! Insisted on rewinding and rewatching two different scenes! Had to be pried away from the penultimate scene with a crowbar! Is this vintage toaster-worthy?

The Marx Brothers are timelessly hilarious. I'm so proud of Emmett

Proud of Emmett? Pah! What about MY achievement? A black-and-white movie starring a bunch of dead people is one hell of a hard sell to a Yu-Gi-Oh card collecting, Teen Titans obsessed eight-year-old.
Emmett started out saying that not only had he never seen a Marx Brothers movie, he highly doubted he ever would. It took some serious pimping (Anarchy, Anarchy, and possibly Anarachy; Groucho insults everyone to their faces; Chico is a crook; Harpo's pockets are full of weird-ass shit) to get him to even consider it.
Of course, it was easy once Groucho tried to put his coat on and found a puppy in his sleeve, and once Emmett saw Harpo pick the same five dollars out of the same man's pocket three times and then steal his sock, he was good and hooked, but getting him there willingly was no small task.
Do I at least get a toasting-fork?

Your achievement is quite impressive too, JZ. I'm just proud of Emmett's good taste.
