I'll vote for "The Year Without Santa," because I like the Cold and Heat Meisers. Or is it "Year without Christmas?"

"Year Without a Santa Claus," that was a good one, I always thought the Miser Brothers were cool. One thing though, at least Heat Miser was willing to deal were he was willing to trade the South for the North Pole. The bad thing with these specials is that some parts were cut out. Getting back to "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," they cut out the scene where Jessica was singing and you had a psychedelic background of flowers and so on and as she ends the song, she sees her reflection in the fountain. Also their wedding scene was cut short. I haven't seen the former since I was 10 or so and I'll be 40 next year.

I'm looking forward to a "Charlie Brown Christmas" where they did restore a scene where Linus knocked a tin can off the fence "David style" using his blanket like a sling. I loved Linus' reading from The Bible, it was beautiful. It is 40 years old this year, when it was shown in 1965, I was a twinkle in Mom's eye. B-) I remember in elementary school, we watched it too, surprising because of the Biblical reference although 30 yearsago, the PC crowd didn't have their tenticles everywhere although the ball was starting to roll then.
