This is my favorite Christmas special, 8 December 2002

I just love "Jug Band Christmas" for the moral and the musical score. I did not get to see it for the first time until the 80's on HBO. I just loved it. I watched it everytime it was on but they no longer show it!! It was a big part of my holiday traditions. I miss it tremendously! I cannot believe that more people do not know about this movie.
