Boi u need to tighten it down

My Dad was born in 1973, and this was one of the first Muppets shows he's ever watched. And by then hes been watching almost every Muppets movies. He's currently 50, and he's been a big Muppets fan since he was like 8 years old! He's even owned Muppets Christmas ornaments since the early 1980s!

Alfie Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree who just didn’t want to change the show? He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels, he liked icicles and snow. He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears and critters and creatures that crawled. Why bugs were some of his very best friends, spiders and ants and all. Now, that’s not to say that he ever looked down on a vision of twinkling lights, Or on mirrored baubles and peppermint canes and a thousand other delights. And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer and a jolly old man in sleigh full of toys and presents and wonderful things, and the story of Christmas Day. Oh Alfie believed in Christmas alright, he was full of Christmas cheer, All of each and every day and all throughout the year. To him it was more than a special time, much more than a special day, It was more than a beautiful story, it was special kind of way. You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring and they’ve never heard of Santa Clause. They’ve never heard the story of the Son of God, and that made Alfie pause. Did that mean they’d never know of peace on earth or the brotherhood of man? Or know how to love? Or know how to give? If they can’t, no one can. You see life is a very special kind of thing, not just for chosen few. But for each and every living, breathing thing, not just me and you. So in your Christmas prayers this year, Alfie asked me if I’d ask you, To say a prayer for the wind, and the water, and the wood, and those who live there, too.

So who is holding on to the rights to this? Disney, ABC,...? It's a travesty that it has not been released on DVD/Blu-Ray.

This should be on TV every year along with Emmet otter Christmas and Nestor the Long Ear Donkey

A much softer time 💛

He is so beautiful, a man who loves his own family including those he touched. The world isn’t the same without him.

I'm 70, two son's buried,one still going two husbands buried and I'm still loving THIS!!!

One of the first programmes i ever recorded on video. A memory forever. And watching it every Christmas.

I remember so well "Take them off Johnnie"....... "Put them on..." That just cracked me up back in 1979 and I've thought of it every time one of my glasses-wearing friends suddenly goes glasses-less. Some people just look better with the glasses on. (I didn't like John Denver's black framed glasses he wore in later year. Yes, he could wear whatever he liked but the classic John Denver of the 1970s looked fantastic and could not be improved upon in my mind.)

I know Miss Piggy is supposed to be annoying, but it bears repetition: Miss Piggy is most annoying. The others are great, though. And John Denver is always wonderful.

Absolute Classic

if John Denver wasn't so foolish enough to fly that plane and crash, he would have lived longer

This is the Christmas I miss, the Christmas I still wish existed... I want to go back.. I don't like the new Christmas.

Is that odd that I always think of John Denver when I see a Muppet?

I am in 2023,never seen or heard it before, magical.

Good good memories for sure!!

Watching this in 2023. Love it!

IDK Miss Piggy was a leftiest femi nazi.

Only at 2023

15:11 Poor John. He just couldn't hold in his laughter. 😆 I remember watching this all the time as a kid. Why is it not being ran every Christmas season? It's such a classic and one of the best Muppet specials to date.

Who's watching this in 2023 6:42

Who’s listening to this in 2023?

I have the original soundtrack album 🎄❤️

Why isn't this available to stream. Disney+ are you listening to us

I remember watching this on TV. My parents, brother and I grew up watching this classic. We have the audio cassette and cd. One time a neighbor of ours recorded the show on the Disney Channel, but one time. Well, the video cassette is wore out and now I want this on dvd/blu ray. It will always be our favorite Christmas special classic, along with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Charlie Brown Christmas, B. C. A Special Christmas, and Tailor of Gloucester. There were songs on the audio that wasn't in the show: Deck the Halls, When the River Meets the Sea, Little Saint Nick, and Noel: Christmas Eve 1913.

John Denver and Richard Hunt (the puppeteer who played Scooter) actually blend very well in harmony

Miss Piggy the real diva

❤

I am! 2023! Very special to me as my brother is one of the Muppeteers; Scooter and others 🤩😍

2023!💖

My daughter's father had a dream the night before that his plane went down.

I was here 12-15-2023

Does anyone see a lot of John Denver in Ed Sheeran? At least before his label made him go pop?

What a classic!! So many happy memories..first with my son Jason and then with my daughter Kelly!!❤❤

If Kermit the frog, Floyd and Gonzo can have a girlfriend, how come fozzie Bear and scooter don't have a girlfriend

An annual tradition. Merry Christmas 2023 🎄🎄🎄🎄

My brother and I watched this when it first aired Christmas '79, and I am going to watch this again, now with 2 toddlers of my own! John Denver will ALWAYS be a beautiful blessing to us. Thank you, John.
