First and foremost, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, starting with this great song by The Wildwoods!
We are also well aware of how many people go through an extremely difficult time during the holidays.
Now MUST watch Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol.
It is by far my favorite Christmas special, even more than the Pee-Wee's Playhouse one and a Charlie Brown Christmas.
We're also big fans of the Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol soundtrack.
Next up: this MGM short subject from 1931, THE CHRISTMAS PARTY, which crams a slew of the studio's stars, including the great Marion Davies, into a brief running time. Alas, there's no Lee Tracy. . .
The question on the addled mind of the gang at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog remains what would Christmas be without the McKenzie brothers?
While it won't, unfortunately, be possible to flee the lower 48, head for Toronto, stay there, hang out at Second City and reinvent myself as an expatriate notable for a rather prominent San Francisco Bay Area accent, it is possible to enjoy Bob & Doug's 12 Days of Christmas, which goes great with W.C. Fields style eggnog, once again.
As we toast our tumblers to Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Cool Kwanzaa and a Happy New Year, will close this post with our all-time favorite 12 Days Of Christmas piece.
That would be On The Twelfth Day (1955), directed by Wendy Toye and designed by Ronald Searle. Enjoy!
