Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas.

Let’s break tonight’s entry into sections, just for kicks.

HOLIDAY NOTES:

1) The main page just got its annual Christmas facelift, with an all-new header from the amazing Jason Week. (I know Thanksgiving is over, but can I add Jason to the “Things I’m Thankful For” list?)

2) The Christmas Jukebox has been reactivated. Look for the jukebox graphic on the right-side column of any page on Dino Drac. (That this silly playlist has become a traditional part of many readers’ holiday celebrations warms my heart. It hasn’t been updated since 2008, but tying it back to earlier versions, some of you have been listening to that jukebox for over 10 years now!)

3) There’s also a new article — the first of this year’s editions of Classic Christmas Commercials. (Nice assortment in this one, too. They’ll make you wanna knit things and drink spice.)

SURVEY TIME:

I think we’re overdue for a good one.

In the comments, name three of your favorite childhood Christmas presents. (Or presents you got for whatever it is that you celebrate.) Let’s make 15 the age cutoff.

I’ll go into greater detail in the comments if I can’t fall asleep, but my quick picks: The Star Wars AT-AT (it was like getting a second dog), the Coleco ALF plush doll, and let’s throw in The Legend of Zelda.

TONIGHT’S MOVIE:

….well, tonight’s TV special, at least.

It’s The Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas, from 1984. Even if you don’t want to watch it, at least admit that you want to be able to say that you’ve watched it. So just do it.
