With the chaos of last week and the quickly mounting headaches ahead of the Week 16 fantasy football season, we should have some fun… especially since it’s Christmas week — and happy holidays too. I’ve done Christmas songs, specials and even cookies. However, I was surprised I’ve never done my favorite Christmas movies… could have sworn I did, but maybe my fantasy football fried brain is just broken. So, to recap…
Best Christmas TV Episodes(from 2020 fantasy season)
Honorable Mention
How I Met Your Mother: How Lily Stole Christmas — Ted is telling Marshall to get over Lily, saying, “You gotta get over that Grinch.” But the truth, from Future Ted, is that he said something else, and it happens again but the gift Marshall gets Lily makes everything right.
Chuck: Chuck Versus Santa Claus — Fugitive crashes into the Buy More, Sarah sneaks in to rescue Chuck, who ends up shooting Mauser (Fulcrum) to protect Chuck, which makes him think Sarah is a murderer… not exactly what you would think for a Christmas episode, but if you watched Chuck and know the episode, you know why it’s here.
Top 10 Christmas Specials
10. A Charlie Brown Christmas — Kinda falls in the middle of a TV special and movie. Iconic cartoon, songs, characters, etc.
9. South Park: Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo — In a theme that still holds up today, South Park wants to eliminate Christmas to be politically indifferent. Mr. Hankey, theme song and all, saves Christmas and becomes a recurring “character”.
8. Brooklyn 99: Yippie Kayak — Jake forgot Boyle’s gift, Jake gets Gina to help find a gift but Boyle comes along when they end up in the middle of a robbery with a hostage situation, and Jake is giddy to recreate Die Hard.
