A Flintstone Christmas: I seriously don't see how this works. Christ isn't even born yet. What kind of time travel insanity is involved here? Did I miss the part of the Bible where Jesus went back in time to pre-save people? Anyway, this is the one that came out in the 90s. Apparently Pebbles and Bam-Bam got married and are coming home for Christmas. Some kid robs Fred and apparently he's... "cave-less." Seriously! Apparently there's a lot of time travel since the homeless kid was rejected by Ghandi and Judaism as well. There's some conversations about "Charlie Manson-stone" and I start zoneing out since the bad jokes are getting completely freaking insane and Wilma takes in the kid who steals the Rubble's tree.
Wilma's an idiot since she trusts the runaway kid. Fred tells the kid to try to enjoy Christmas and not to ruin it. They go to see Santa who goes a little mad talking about losing his old job. Fred gets decked with a Christmas Tree. I start going insane about these Rock Puns. The kid kidnaps Fred's boss so Fred can be Santa Claus in a parade and my teeth start to rot from the saccharine nature of it all. Fred and Wilma adopt the homeless kid. Two days later everything in their house is missing and the Flintstones are dead in their beds. I may have made up that last bit.

The gang escapes and almost catches the Ghost. Grumpy McSourpants shows up with an order to condemn the house. The convenient French Maid is taking tickets as Grumpy comes to gloat. The gang dresses up for the Nutcracker Suite with Shaggy in Drag. Tiny Tina saves Grumpy's cat, probably leading to him deciding to let them keep the house. The Ghost steals the nutcracker from the tree, it turns out it's the maid, nobody is surprised. Also, the Emerald was hidden between the Nutcracker's legs. Also, predictably Grumpy McSourpants likes kids now and I envy Tina Tina's parents where ever they are.
The Year Without a Santa Claus: I covered this one a few year's back but I still love this one. I love all the Rankin-Bass Christmas Specials but this one is just extra special due to the Miser Brothers and because it's one of the few ones where Mrs. Claus gets her due. Mrs. Claus is probably the Christmas Character who never gets her due. She's always in the background, never a lead character except here. I think Mrs. Claus deserves her own special or movie. Half the time I'm sure she's the brains behind it all.
Notable Commercials: I keep seeing this anti-bullying ad on Cartoon Network. I hate bullying and it's never a funny subject BUT it looks like the bully is about to try to make out with the guy he's calling short. I mean, seriously, it looks like it might be in some kinda movie of a more... triple-X variety.
Late Christmas Ideas: I kinda want something to work out once in awhile.
