The most underrated Christmas Special of all time. Can’t you see the gang parading through the streets? And Bob with his masterful sign language singing a song with his hands…
I believe in miracles and I can tell you why
Once a year the street I live on sparkles like the sky
All hung with lights for Christmas
Twinkling everywhere
The world turns bright for Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is
Bert and his uni-brow. Snuffy squishing into those oil barrels pretending he is Santa. The rubber ducky. The paper clip collection. And Mr. Hooper coming through in the end. Man that Mr. Hooper was a class act. Whatever happened to the neighborhood general store? I don’t see Walmart on Sesame Street.
The music, the characters, the story… timeless. And completely relevant over 30 years later.
