Not bad. I predicted #1 before the video even began.
Also, I would've kept mostly the same list as him, but a few changes I would make is move Woodland Critter Christmas up a few spots, and in one of the obscure choices he made put Tokyo Godfathers, a touching story of 3 homeless people finding an abandoned baby and their journey to find its parents...and yes it is an anime movie.

Where was Scrooged on the list? Would it be lumped into A Christmas Carol, or is it different enough to be listed on its own?

I'm more surprised there wasn't a single Rankin/Bass special.

That had to be the best one he's done. He talks about the emotion of just about all the picks of his, gives great justifications, the intro was funny (he sounds like my friend's 4 year old kid helping decorate their house), and you knew something was up with the dancing Christmas Tree.
...plus I laughed at the Al Gore joke... hard...

I'm very dissapointed by the lack of "A Muppet Family Christmas" which is easily my favourite Christmas special.

No Garfield Christmas?! I watched that every year growing up. And as far as A Christmas Carol goes, I'd have to say that the George C Scott version is my favorite.

Surprised by the lack of Rankin Bass specials and Garfield.
Garfield in particular. I almost always get teary when Grandma talk to Garfield about her late husband.

I'm more surprised there wasn't a single Rankin/Bass special. Ditto. Seeing a South Park episode on a Greatest Christmas Specials list when such classics as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer and Frosty the Snowman aren't just seems wrong to me.

I don't understand how he was critcizing the effects in the beginging of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. If it was made in the last 15-20 years, sure mock away, but for the time it was good.
I like hte Nostalgia Chick better. And that's not just because she's hot

Honestly, I have no opinion on this list. I hate Christmas specials.

As a former worker at a drug store during Christmas, I'm glad he shot that f***ing tree.

I think he didn't list any of the Rankin-Bass specials cause he feels we all had to be forced to watch them at some point or another.
Strange then that he listed A Christmas Story as #1, cause well, it is played all day on Christmas on TNT, so now everyone has seen it at least once.
