I dont really have many favorite Christmas episodes. Maybe Happy Days first one where Fonzie was alone at the garage. Actually, that was more sad than anything else.

I have sooooo many!

But I do like the Home Improvement and Gimme a Break! Christmas episodes.

The best GAB Christmas episode to me is "A Kanisky Christmas"...

And for HI..."'Twas the Blight before Christmas"...

I didn't like the AITF Christmas episodes. I thought they were too depressing.

Actually, looking over my list, 70% of them have depressing aspects in some way or other--FOUR of them deal with death.
