Have yourself a special Christmas

‘Tis the season for Christmas television specials. What better way to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus than by watching “A WWF Christmas Smackdown?” What could possibly say “Peace on Earth, Goodwill To Men” more than a “Britney Spears Goes a-Caroling Buck Naked” special? How about this for spirituality – “Survivor: Bethlehem!”

What could recall Mary and Joseph’s stay in a manger in Bethlehem better than a “Christmas Getaways of the Rich and Famous?” No doubt Mary and Joseph would have loved the creche in the entranceway of the Aspen billionaire’s house where any hay, firewood or buffalo chips are kept outside the house. It’s funny, everyone wants a creche, but no one wants to go to the trouble of finding real sheep and goat manure to give it that authentic holiday smell.

Sure to be a holiday classic, “Three Wise Guys” is a twist on the tale of the Three Wise Men that you and your family will want to watch for years to come. In it, three capos from “The Sopranos” come to visit the baby Jesus by following the swamp gasses of Elizabeth, N.J.’s night sky. Naturally, they run into trouble on the way and they have to whack a few people before getting to the manger of Paramus Park. When they finally get to the manger, they give Jesus gold, frankincense and cannolis – all of which have fallen off the back of a camel.
