I have watched A Muppet Family Christmas every single year since it came out. I had it on grainy tape. Later the Internet helped me upgrade.

Now I watch it with my wife and sons every December 24th in the hours leading up to the main celebrations (that start at 6 PM according to Icelandic tradition). My eyes do go a little misty when they start doing the dishes.

On top of this we watch Muppets Christmas Carol the day before.

@oligneisti @themuppets I thought it was just me who watched it every Christmas!

Yes, I too find this show much more affecting than The Muppets Christmas Carol. I'm unsure why exactly.

It is sentimental but the silliness stops it from becoming schmaltzy. It walks the line.

@oligneisti Someone has uploaded a really good quality rip to YouTube, last year. πŸ˜€

Grab it before it inevitably gets taken down!
