Things To Do On Vacation: The Worst Christmas Special Ever

Interlude: Christmas Stuff

You've seen Frosty The Snowman, and the old Rankin-Bass Claymation movies, and Mickey's Christmas Carol, not to mention It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. If you're serious about celebrating, you've even watched Die Hard, which is absolutely a Christmas movie, I am not listening to anyone who says otherwise. But have you seen...

The Star Wars Holiday Special?

tl;dr: It is terrible. It is so terrible, that it was aired one year (1978) and never officially saw the light of day again. Lucas did his best to bury it. It was taped (on a very early home Beta machine, by the look of it) by a nerd somewhere, lovingly preserved for all these years, and has been uploaded to YouTube, repeatedly, again and again whenever anyone tries to take it down, because the internet is where awful media goes to circulate in purgatory forever.

Read up on its legendary terribleness here. Then go watch it and sob in horror at the sheer disco-tastic awfulness. Happy holidays!
