Yes, I know it’s a parody, and yet it somehow still works for the Yule Log.
This must be a Smurf Christmas special that I missed when I aged out of The Smurfs. Yes, there was a time I did that. By this point a bunch of new characters had shown up. The Smurflings (kid Smurfs, which raises a ton of new questions about where Smurfs come from), Grandpa Smurf, Wild Smurf (basically if a Smurf grew up in the wild), and we’ve seen Baby Smurf in previous Smurf Christmas specials I’ve posted over the years. (Need to make sure those are on the playlist.) Sadly, Johan and Peewit never get to be in these specials despite Hanna-Barbera having added them to the show by now and the characters’ own comic being where the Smurfs were introduced, originally as a one-time appearance but being popular enough that Peyo was encouraged to give them their own series.
Tis The Season To Be Smurfy was just uploaded this year so now I get to share it with you guys…and see it for the first time myself. Grandpa, Sassette, and Wild decide to bring Christmas to an old couple struggling during the season. Can they and the other Smurfs give them a Merry Christmas? Maybe if they can convince the Smurfs first. And maybe they can deal with a nasty pickpocket and a grumpy rich man along the way. Covering all our bases, are we, Smurfs?

A bit long for any of my Christmas playlists but still something I wanted to share.

Mayim Bialik has her own YouTube channel
Apparently she discusses mental health issues. She’s an actual neuroscientist as well as an actress. This was recorded in 2017, so it may not fall on her birthday this year. Happy birthday to her if it does or just in general, and happy Hanukkah to my Jewish readers. Also, I didn’t know that about the Menorah.

I wasn’t really planning on doing another article until after New Years. I’m taking the post-Christmas week off, spending Monday going over short videos and specials, and depending on when I get Captain Yuletide done for the year post that. (One of these days I WILL make it post on Christmas day again without killing myself and making subpar art for my current skill level!) However, then MatPat over at the Theorist channels had to drop this and it got me questioning, partly thanks to doing Captain Yuletide.
In this episode of Food Theory MatPat tries to make the claim that the milk and cookies (or whatever else is left for Santa in various other countries, one of the things that’s interesting about this theory) may actually be rather unhealthy for jolly old St. Nick. However, while I’m not even close to the biggest expert on Santa Claus, there’s a hole in his theory.
