Fudge!

I just realized that I missed what is perhaps one of the better Christmas TV specials tonight. Of course I am talking about Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. What else would I be talking about?

I still somewhat plan to review all the Christmas special-y stuff I can get my hands on. Except that I haven't done anything yet... because it hasn't felt like Christmas yet. Except that it started snowing today, so that's somewhat Christmas-y. I'm still thrown off by the fact that I had an abnormal Thanksgiving... so the fact that it's December doesn't feel right.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is QUALITY, though (along with Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town). Usually Christmas specials are sort of cheap affairs with bad messages to try to make up for the lack of quality. But the Rankin Bass specials feel like a nice big 40s Hollywood production that try to provide an enjoyable experience with some nice songs and a little of suspense. It gives it a warm and familiar feel to it... which is great if you're making a Christmas special.

Also, even though it really isn't about Christmas the song "Why Am I Such A Misfit" from the special is considered to be my favorite Christmas song. Although I'm probably the only person that thinks so. A while ago I expressed my love for the song and someone said that the song was stupid.

It secretly hurt my feelings a lot.
