I’m so excited to share this season of @adventcalendar.house with you.
🎄 If I’m new to you, this is podcast number 1 of 12 this month about a different TV holiday special. It’ll reach episode 200 by Christmas Eve, so we’re very much in the weeds now, and it’s been so much fun.

If you taped Jim Henson’s “The Christmas Toy” off the TV in 1986, you’ve heard of this one because it’s what was Coming Up Next.
This week, it's an obscure TV version of A Christmas Carol from 1986: John Grin's Christmas starring Robert Guillame!

My Christmas playlist is all killer, no filler, BAY-beee
However, if pressed, I’ll reluctantly admit this Lil Jon/Kool-Aid Man Christmas song is kind of dumb. And that’s why I love it.

What’s the stupidest song on your holiday playlist?
Mine’s “Better Than Revenge” by Taylor Swift because she near-rhymes “applause” with “sabotage,” and my dumb brain keeps expecting “Santa Claus.”

Here are some things about the Junk Food Monster:
1. This image is from The Sesame Street Library 14.
2. JFM is not discussed in anywhere else.
3. These sculptures were made by Bonnie Erickson, who designed and/or built the original Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Statler, Waldorf, and Janice, among others.
