Recently came across the DVD of this special at a Big Lots store, and being into Christmas and obscure films, so I bought it. I watched this thinking it was going to be another run of the mill bland Christmas special, but it wasn't, it was great. It rhymed throughout, much like a Dr. Seuss book, and had some hilarious rhymes.
This special was shown on NBC originally, and it is family friendly. No profanity is used, but there is slapstick violence. The voice cast is great, including Jerry Stiller as Murray and Jason Alexander as the doctor; both of which had starred on Seinfeld. Dennis Haysbert (or the State Farm guy) narrates the tale.
