Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas
Sure, the puppets in this early Jim Henson special show their strings a bit, but that's all part of the fun of this naive and earnest retelling of The Gift of the Magi. Cuddly Emmet Otter and his rhythm-loving pals put together a jug-band for the local talent show, in hopes of grabbing that big-money prize to help Emmet by his mom a gift. Battling slimy funk band the Riverbottom Gang, they all get a lesson in the true value of gift-giving.
