Goofs
In the opening dream sequence, Jon invites Garfield to eat his way to the tree via a run of lasagnas. However, whilst he eats one of them there is a brief moment when it seems as if someone used the wrong animation cels as he stops eating the one he is eating at the time for a split-second.

Quotes
Garfield: All right, you guys, just permit me one sentimental moment here, will you? I have something to say. Christmas: it's not the giving, it's not the getting, it's the loving. There, I said it. Now get outta here.

Alternate versions
In 1991, the TV special aired on CBS with new scenes, including Grandma playing the piano. This is why the copyright date on television airings, videos and the "Garfield: Holiday Celebrations" DVD read as "1991".

8/10

Christmas time for Garfield.

Jon Arbuckle takes Odie and Garfield to his family's farm home for Christmas. Jon's excited, but Garfield wasn't as he prefers to have his Christmas back home.

Jon is welcomed by his whole family, his parents, his farm hand brother: "Doc Boy", and his Rowdy Grandmother.

Tis the Season, and Garfield thinks the whole holiday is all about the gifts. But after this holiday Garfield will learn that there's more to Christmas than the gifts themselves.

This one is very simple, but very well written. It may take place in one location, but it does have the usual jokes to keep things going. And it's a holiday treat for the die-hard Garfield fans. Or those who like holiday toons.
