I would add to the list of Best Holiday episodes the "Nothing Sacred" Christmas episode, where the parish provides sanctuary to an undocumented immigrant family. Also, Father Leo is in desperate need of a meeting, because "It's not Christmas until the first punch is thrown."

Oh, how I miss that show.

Yeah, I agree "The Strike" is one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. I saw this episode last week, and I couldnt stop laughing at it. Frank's "Festivus for the Rest of Us" will always cracks me up.

I know it's a kid's cartoon, but the "Hey Arnold" christmas episode captures the Christmas spirit as well as any TV show ever has. It gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it... and I'm 42.

I'm hoping that some day the new "Studio 60" Holiday Show will end up there. It's spectacular.
