Superfreak

The answer is Slumbertown.

If you don't know the question, well, hah. I do. Cause I'm a Christmas special superfreak. And proud if it.

(Where do all the unloved toys go? Ah, The Island of Misfit Toys. "Rudolph")

Every year in high school the teachers held a holiday special trivia contest. And every single year, I won. Got all perfect scores, too.

(Mrs. Claus, what's her real name? That would be Jessica, of course. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")

My record stood for many years, and then my title was snatched away from me. It's fine, though. It was with a proud tear in my eye that I passed it on to my brother. He now holds the trivia title.

(All I want for Christmas is...Real estate. Me, too. If Santa brought me some, I'd be very happy. Dropping subtle gift-hint here. Hello, Santa? "Peanuts")

Since I was old enough to plop in front of the t.v. I've been obsessed. From the minute the sun sets on Thanksgiving Day until the sun rises on Christmas morning, it's a carefully choreographed race to fit all my movies in. I always make it, though.

(The Miser Brother's mom is? Mother Nature!! And bless her, for her boys are certainly trying. "The Year Without a Santa Claus")

And I own just about all of them. (Except "The Christmas Toy." That's the last one I need...another not so subtle potential gift- hint. Hubby. Mom. Someone. Anyone.) My kids, too, are in training. Some day my brother will have to relinquish his title. It's only right it stays within the family.

(Who plays Bob Cratchett in "The Muppet Christmas Carol"? Kermit, for he is the man. Or frog. Whatever.)

It's a problem. Time is short. The holidays, the shopping, the decorating (we're down one snowman blow-up and two light-up reindeer, btw. Hubby is very sad.), it's getting hard to squeeze in writing. And I'm close to being done. Something has to give, I suspect. It won't be the specials, though.

(Clark couldn't be more surprised than if he...woke up with his head sewn to the carpet. "Christmas Vacation." Sure, not a special, but it IS a classic.)

I'm off now, "Nestor the Long-eared Donkey" awaits.
