Family Circus is widely considered to be one of the more lame comic strips. I've always found it more innocuous than irritating, though I will admit I don't think I've ever even cracked a smile after reading one of them. Some people downright hate the thing. I just can't muster the energy to care that much about it.

But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy this, A Family Circus Christmas. I don't remember the special at all (it was first shown in 1979 but I don't remember seeing it then or since then), but thankfully we have the cool folks over at X-Entertainment to guide us through it scene by scene. The reviewer (Matt) says it's a lot more heavy-handed than most Xmas shows, and deals with "death and loss and God and big pointy momma tits." It also has an invisible Santa Claus.

At the end of the review are four videos from the special.
