    The special may be sad, but it's different. Other than the other "happy" Christmas specials being released, this was far different for Christmas specials. It takes on a different theme than others also. Though Rankin/Bass does like to kill characters off in some of them. *cough* ...( read more)Drummer Boy, Frosty cough* This special would have been better if it was longer. But it's enough to cheer about.

    And if you say the Rifftrax is the only way to watch this, you obviously are taking it way too serious or have no heart at all.
