A Classic Cartoon Christmas, Too
Next to the Grinch, the most-loved Christmas villain has got to be the Heat Miser. If "Year Without a Santa Claus" were ever Broadway-bound, the Heat Miser's song would be the showstopper. The theme of his brother, Snow Miser, is nothing to sneeze at either. Both are included on this collection along with "We Wish You a Hairy Chestwig," thanks to Ren & Stimpy. On the more touching side, Burl Ive's "Silver and Gold" is still as warm as brandy, or tea, depending on your tastes, and "There's Always Tomorrow" from Rudolph's epic tale was written to tug at the ol' heart strings. On a more traditional note, "Follow the Star," from The Beginner's Bible Sings stays with the true spirit of the season.--Steve Gdula
