Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1940 Merrie Melodies cartoon Holiday Highlights directed by Tex Avery.
"Tain't funny, McGee" refers to the tagline from the long running radio show, Fibber McGee and Molly.
Before the start of our feature presentation, in case you are already overwhelmed by the holidays, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to share with you this treat during this holiday season from the BBC: QI December Christmas Special -:
It should be mandatory that we watch Stephen Fry every holiday season!
The holiday season is once again upon us, we here at Acme are proud to continue sharing with you the Seventeenth Annual Holiday Video Festival. This weekend, perhaps you are starting to send out your holiday cards (most of the staff of ACME sent out their holidays before Thanksgiving; they wanted to start all of their friends holiday seasons by being the first card they receive.) Why not put The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour on in the background and watch this Lifetime Christmas film, On The 2nd Day Of Christmas, starring Mary Stuart Masterson, Mark Ruffalo, Lauren Pratt, and David Hewlett. So get those holiday cards out, get your mailing lists together and turn on tonight's movie, On The 2nd Day Of Christmas.
On the 2nd Day of Christmas doesn't break the mold of a 1990s romantic TV movie, but it manages to be a somewhat enjoyable time in spite of its genre's limitations. If you're a sucker for Lifetime's holiday programming, this is basically must-see entertainment.
Today’s second theme – A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss...
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have. - Even kids abused by their domineering father
Today's second Christmas special - A Beach Boys Christmas
Toy Drive Public Service Announcement
Alone on Christmas Day –
The song was intended to appear on the never released 1977 Merry Christmas from the Beach Boys album.
Child of Winter (Christmas Song) –
This song was released two days before Christmas and thus had no chance of commercial success. It is now an almost impossible single to find and was released for the first time on album for the 1998 Ultimate Christmas set, though it was intended for the 1977 Christmas album.
Santa’s Got An Airplane –
The song uses the same instrumental track from Al Jardine's Loop De Loop, Flip-Flop.
I’ll be home for Christmas –
This was written by Walter Kent (music) and James Kimball “Kim” Gannon (words). Though Kent and Gannon collaborated on other songs, none reached the same level of popularity as this song.
Another Christmas song they got around to sing in between the verbal abuse from their father
The Man With All The Toys –
As a single in 1964, the song had limited success (No. 6 on the Billboard Christmas chart), but built sales over successive Christmases and is listed by Billboard in the Top 100 selling Christmas songs in history.
There is no place like home for the holiday.
Demand Euphoria!
