I watched Christmas Eve on sesame Street, half of Muppet Family Christmas, and the Steeler game while decorating the tree this morning. I'm still not done. It's a good thing my sister doesn't get into town until 11:30 am tomorrow so we're doing Christmas morning tomorrow night after trips to both of my grandmothers houses. Last minute Christmas moves beyond Thunderdome.

Christmas Eve on sesame Street is so great. It's got some wicked funny stuff including the awesome opening of Oscar the Grouch flying through the air, down a bunch of stairs and through multiple walls. What a fantastic beginning! And those kids, man. Santa Claus keys. It's all great. Rock solid holiday fun. I get all teary when Mr. Hooper gives everybody exactly what they want for Christmas. Beautiful.

Muppet Family Christmas is also amazingly, awesomely great. There so much stuff that is just great muppet action but then there's also some really great jokes that come from the interaction between the muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock characters. "This is small talk where we come from". Ha.

Muppet Family Christmas also features the great insult: "You and what other nerd!" Memorize it . Use it.

The Steeler game was pretty great too.
