Pee Wee's Playhouse -
Christmas Special
In this surreal pastiche of television-age nostalgia, sprung
from the perpetually prepubescent mind of Paul Reubens,
Pee-Wee and his friends celebrate Christmas in all kinds of
unique, fun, and creative ways in a holiday special unlike
any other. The wacky and outrageous Pee-Wee (Paul Reubens)
has made a list for Santa; unfortunately it's so long that
if he gets everything he wants, there won't be anything left
over for the other children on Santa's route| Pee-Wee learns
the true meaning of the Christmas spirit when he learns to
share, and along the way he is visited by a bevy of
celebrity stars, including Whoopi Goldberg, Frankie Avalon,
Joan Rivers, Charo, Grace Jones, Annette Funicello, Magic
Johnson, K.D. Lang, Zsa Zsa Gabore, and Little Richard. This
Christmas classic is fun for the whole family, with all the
cleverness and charm of the TV series, and was nominated for
three Emmy Awards when it came out in 1988.

The Santa Claus
When Santa Claus gets killed in a freak accident after being startled on the
rooftop of a house, it looks like Christmas is ruined. But fortunately, just
before his death, the jolly, gift-giver passed the torch to ad executive Scott
Calvin (Tim Allen), who finishes the job of bestowing holiday cheer on all. When
he finally reaches on the North Pole, however, Scott learns that he can't give
up the job -- he's become the next Santa Claus. (THAT'S the Santa Clause|).
Scott returns home, only to find himself slowly changing into the pudgy,
white-haired old man so beloved of children... and to find that everyone around
him considers him utterly and completely mad.
Santa and Pete
Happy Holidays!
