merry christmas to all and before my month long hiatus, i have three more internet related errands to do here is the first, my top 10 christmas specials.
IT WAS HARD NARROWING THESE DOWN SO IF YOUR FAVOURITE IS NOT HERE PLEASE DONT HOLD IT AGAINST ME!
10. THE SNOWMAN
a christmas classic, yes, but if you wondering why its down low its because of the ending. the snowman melts/dies and you dont want to be a kid crying into your ice-cream, getting all upset!
9.MR HANKY THE CHRISTMAS POO.
Trey parker and Matt Stone has always turned christmas on its head. from jesus and santa having a wrestling match to disney animals worship Satan.buts kyles imaginary friend that teaches us something usually forgotten, good will towards men.
8.QI CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
the only ongoing series on this list, qi is a quiz hosted by stephen fry. every episode regular guest Alan davies is the butt of stephens jokes until this happened.

7. TIED FOR 7TH, CIRCUSES, MAGIC SHOWS (AND IF YOU'RE A GIRL) BALLET
christmas tv should be about spectacle, things you should see once or never again. my favourites? david copperfield making the statue of liberty disapeer, Paul Daniels Magician's ball and the Masked Magician.
6. WORLDS STRONGEST MAN
as i mentioned in last years final resolution review, this is as much a christmas tradition as goose, sprouts and bad cracker jokes.
5. CHRISTMAS CAROL(BUT NEVER THE KELSEY GRAMMER VERSION)
Now to complain about a bad film! frasier crane is scrooge in this polilictal correctness gone mad Garbage!
you didnt have black people in victorian England! and if they did they would have being Slaves! i sorry but it's true!
4. blackadder christmas carol.
A unique twist on the story as a kind man is convinced by ghosts to become a Bastard! Without giving to much away , nothing ever goes Blackadder's way now does it?
3. EARTHWORM JIM
Every cartoon villian kidnaps Santa, but Queen Slug -For-A-Butt brainwash santa to the darkside!
2.LATE LATE TOY SHOW.
The lost chat show in the world, irelands own late late has a special show where kids and celebrities(well, irish celebrities and the odd british D-Lister who lives here!) test and try the new toys. but the real star is Dustin the turkey who would chastise the presenter.
