    This season, let's rejoice that "Tina the Talking Tabby" didn't become a recurring thing, like the snowball, crazy bus, or the existence of D.W.
    Great message to not have D.W. punished for yelling that she didn't get the gift she wanted. I'm sure many kids took that to Heart.
    Also, how does Francine not realize that Muffy is a terrible friend? Sure, she's rich, but her fantasies always have Francine as the laborer... and she mocks her religion too. I guess money can buy friendship!

      In regards to Francine and Muffy, I think after this special came out they probably heard some similar criticisms and did a better job of showing Muffy genuinely trying to be a good friend, even if she misunderstands exactly what it is Francine really wants. Francine's Bad Hair Day comes to mind, Muffy's actions are not the right ones but you can tell they're coming from a place of care and that she mostly just wants her friend to have a nice looking school photo.

      True, Muffy did eventually tell the teacher that she was the one who cheated on that test, which resulted in a 2 week detention, but the only reason why she did that was because her baseball team was losing and they needed Francine to win.

    In all seriousness, though, this is far and away the best of the Arthur specials.
    Its pacing is excellent.
    The morals are also very well-delivered--though I have to assume this is before "Long, Cold Winter," where Arthur is adamant that a holiday be about celebrating or acknowledging something important, rather than the superficial trappings.
    The lore is expanded--Fracine's Jewish upbringing is referenced in several later episodes, with a cousin having a Bar Mitzvah and her grandmother visiting for Yom Kippur.
    And of course, Baxter Day.
    It also helps that the musical numbers are limited to the bigger kids, rather than D.W. and her friends and that the music is all in their heads rather than sung out loud. Extended imagine spots work for Arthur far better than the kids actually singing like they do in latter specials.

    So, here is a story:
    Back in 2018, the only thing I really wanted for Christmas was a plushie of Webby from the DuckTales reboot. I was at the peak of my fandom for the show, and Webby was my absolute favorite character (nowadays, she shares the title with Della), so of course I would’ve loved to own the plushie of her. But unlike DW and her stupid tabby cat, my family actually managed to get Webby for me - despite the plush apparently being hard to find- largely because they, shocker, shopped *ahead* of time and didn’t save it for the very last minute. I personally believe that DW’s behaviour isn’t unrealistic (it’s actually quite realistic for a kid her age), but since Jane had such a time crunch, it’s no wonder that DW didn’t get Tina the Talking Tabby.
    P.S. I still own the Webby plush to this day

    The one thing that I identified with on this show was the family dynamic. I also have a younger sister and since she was born most of the attention and care has been given to her. Every effort has been made to try and make her happy since day one. Anything she wanted my parents did their best to give her. Even when she got older. At 16 I got a hand me down car while my parents bought her a much newer one. When that was wrecked, they bought her an even newer one. I had to save to get myself a decent car. She does nothing around the house while I do all the chores. When she decided to go to college and wanted to go to an expensive school, our dad didn’t agree to co-sign her loans so she guilted our mom into signing and now doesn’t talk to our dad because of it. Even today, I can not go to my parents with any type of problem because I am a man and should be able to deal with everything by myself always while my sister is a woman who my parents feel can’t do anything at all for herself.

    Binky:Yeah in some ways I can get why you're mad with him, even I thought that Binky could have done alot better with his cooking skills. But I did thought the running gag was funny as well as when Binky was in Arthur's dream sequence.
    Jeffrey Zahn and Peter Hirsch: Disagree as the songs in this were pretty good.
    Mr (David) Read: I guess but it's a interesting meal idea to do on Christmas.
    Mrs (Jane) Read:Yes I agree, as she also did wait until 3 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS to do her shopping!!!!
    Uncle Fred: I agree with the reasoning, but besides that Uncle Fred is just a wonderful character in this Christmas special and it's a darn shame that he doesn't return at all after this.

    Arthur:I agree with the reason, could have just kept it in his room like I would do.

    Although the movie is called "Arthur's Perfect Christmas", I believe that the special proves once and for all that nobody is perfect and even the final song in the show states and I quote "Sometimes the thing you hope for isn't the thing you get." Which D.W. should have realized proves it to be true. I'm super glad you put it in perspective for virtually every one of the main characters in this series. but I've just gotta say, I get that Muffy is a spoiled Rich Kid. She's no Pippi Longstocking despite the fact that her actress Melissa Altro got her start playing the freckle-faced red-haired girl in the animated series and movie, however you're right, she should not have disrespected Chanukah. All the same, I do believe that D.W. is a bigger brat than Muffy. I swear to god, if someone just told her the truth about Santa Claus, maybe that would get her to change. Or... maybe it'd be better if Grandpa Dave told Angelica about what happens to bad kids at Christmas just like Grandpa Lou did in Rugrats.

    What a commotion! First Penny was crying because she couldn't buy Timmy his sled, and now D.W.'s having a tantrum about not getting some bloody cat doll! What could be worse than either of those?

    I remember Christmas of 1998. I wanted a Rugrats toy but I didn’t get it even after writing it on my Christmas list.
    Instead I asked Santa that my brother got the latest crash bandicoot game for Christmas ( crash bandicoot 3 warp) he did get that for sure.
    Some time in January I got a letter from Santa saying how thoughtful I was .
    Still didn’t get the toy but oh well I can’t really remember what I got that Christmas LOL

    I thought it was good that they covered the different holidays of December was a great idea. They did wait too long to plan what they wanted for Christmas. You’re making a great point about Mr.Read. DW was a total terror in this one.

    One Christmas, I really wanted Sonic 3D (Sonic 3D Blast to you Americans), and I didn't get it. I cried, but my mom explained that it was sold out. That was a good enough explanation for me, and I got the game a few months later. Years later, my mom told me how broken up she was about not getting me the game for Christmas, so I feel bad for Mrs. Read in this episode, because she clearly felt bad about not getting the toy.
