What's the saddest moment in a holiday TV special?

So, I’m sitting down to enjoy my Original Christmas Classics Limited Keepsake Edition DVD — that’s a collection that includes Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty Read the full post.

    I am 38 and to this day I cannot watch Frosty the Snowman. I tried last year and I still cried like a baby.

    I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Simpsons Christmas Special, the very first episode of the Simpsons, where Homer finds out he has no Christmas bonus and loses his paycheck at the dog track, but takes Santa’s Little Helper home. I swear I cry like a baby every time I see it, the tone of the episode is so sad.

    Jim Henson had this special in the mid-80′s called “The Christmas Toy”, where the toys came to life when no one was around, but if they were caught out of place they’d be frozen forever. I am forever scarred by both the clown and Mew dying. And it doesn’t even matter that they’re brought back to life in the end. It was horrifying to my 5 year old psyche.

    I bawled the first time I saw the scene from Christmas Shoes (That’s what you were thinking of, SF Writer), where the man’s in line and he sees the little boy. To sum it up, He told the man it was his mum’s last christmas and that he wanted to buy her some shoes so she could be beautiful for heaven, but he was $5.20 short. That ripped me to shreds.

    That is like me in Jaunuary when Arnold Swarznegger is out!
