The holidays are a time for competing with your friends to see how far you can stretch the boundaries of "Christmas movie." In that spirit, your resident cartoon gravediggers have dug up three (four?) strange and wondrous holiday specials from decades past. We'll examine the nation's eggnog allergy epidemic and the efficacy of reindeer pheromones with 2000's "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"; debate what defines a Christmas tree and the brutal nihilistic lifestyle of obese dinosaurs in 1987's "Claymation Christmas Celebration"; and acknowledge that war never changes and is indeed Hell, but may also be our path to the perfect furry society in 1939's "Peace on Earth" and it's 1955 remake, "Good Will To Men".
