Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I put a spotlight on the maligned, forgotten, and ignored. Everyone that celebrates Christmas has at least half a dozen DVDs of Christmas specials that are watched every year.

Whoever thought of this deserves both a pat on the back and a serious questioning.
