Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Dont buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for freeWhat to give him for Christmas Anything as long as its snakeskin. Everyone loves a character who learns the true meaning of Christmas witness the enduring popularity of one Ebeneezer Scrooge. Billy Mack isnt that bad to start off with, since theres no particular sign of outright villainy on his part, merely a sense of ennui with the music industry and a penchant for saying outrageous things on air. Still, its nice to see him realise that Christmas is about more than playing your appalling Christmas song naked on prime time TV. Its also about declaring your platonic love for your scruffy manager. Groupies come and go, but friends, after all, are forever. Jack Skellington. Film The Nightmare Before Christmas 1. Played by voice Chris Sarandon Danny Elfman singingDistinguishing features Extremely elongated limbs giant skull head penchant for pinstripes and Goth accessories often to be seen with a ghost dog, and we dont mean the Way of the Samurai type. Typical line You know, I think this Christmas thing is not as tricky as it seems But why should they have all the fun It should belong to anyone Not anyone, in fact, but meWhat to give him for Christmas Some really long, really skinny pyjamas with little bats on. Lets face it Jack Skellington was born to celebrate Halloween rather than Christmas. That face was surely never meant to eat mince pies or sing carols. And yet here we are, in a world where hes one of the most popular Christmas characters out there. As the Halloween Town denizen who discovers the magic of Christmas, you cant fault his delight in the season nor his determination to share it with his neighbours. Admittedly, you can fault his decision to kidnap Santa, and his failure to rein in said neighbours when they proceed to unleash hell under a million Christmas trees, but if its the thought that counts hes OK by us. Gonzo. Film The Muppet Christmas Carol 1. Played by The Great Gonzo Dave GoelzDistinguishing features 1. Indeed, uncertain planetary origin. Typical line I told you, storytellers are omniscient I know everythingWhat to give him for Christmas A cannon. Lets face it, hes more naturally suited to being fired from cannons. When you are trying to cast Charles Dickens, titan of English literature and enthusiastic writer of Christmas set stories, you naturally need an actor with gravitas, with a bold personality and with immense personal appeal to communicate Dickens genius and huge personality. Who else, then, than The Great Gonzo, a performer so committed that he regularly fires himself out of cannons with only the most minimal of safety equipment and who engages in groundbreaking live work like eating a rubber tyre to the tune of Flight Of The Bumblebee Whats that Simon CallowDont be silly hes not even blue. In any case, Gonzos performance in The Muppet Christmas Carol is his most restrained and literate ever, just proving that he was the right muppet for the job, and his comic double act with Rizzo the Rat a constant delight. Clarence Odbody. Film Its A Wonderful Life 1. Played by Henry Travers leftDistinguishing features Genial manner old fashioned clothes occasional appearance as small star or twinkle of light. Typical line Strange, isnt it Each mans life touches so many other lives. When he isnt around he leaves an awful hole, doesnt heWhat to give him for Christmas Wings. Its all he ever talks about. You know whats not Christmassy Trying to top yourself on Christmas Eve and leave your family to face disgrace and poverty. So George Bailey isnt sufficiently Christmassy for this list, giving way to the optimistic and rather sweet Clarence, an angel in training who figures out the perfect way to get our George back on the straight and narrow, at some risk to his own afterlife. First Clarence throws himself off a bridge, forcing the suicidal George to put aside his own plans and leap to the strangers aid, and then he gives George a glimpse of a world where hed never existed and puts his problems in perspective. Job done. No wonder bells are soon ringing and Clarence is soon winging about. We assume. Harry Lime. Hd Video 720P Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!. Film Home Alone 1. Played by Joe Pesci. Distinguishing features Prominent gold tooth slightly ratlike expression propensity to rob homes left empty over Christmas. Typical line I think were getting scammed by a kindergartener. What to give him for Christmas A good lawyer Lets get this out of the way Macauley Culkins Kevin Mc. Allister is NOT a Christmassy character. No one who was truly full of the festive spirit would ever drop a heated iron on another persons head. Joe Pescis Harry, however, has a better case. After all, he greets the advent of the Christmas season with considerable enthusiasm, visiting houses around the neighbourhood and smiling benevolently at the children he meets. Sure, he then burgles the lot but for all we know he has an ailing granny and sixteen adorable children to support each with puppies until an obnoxious, spoiled and violent little rich kid puts him in the slammer. Its probably in the deleted scenes. Pietari Kontio. Film Rare Exports A Christmas Tale 2. Played by Onni Tommila. Distinguishing features Permanently wary expression suspicion of anything landing on the roof reluctance to sleep during Advent season small stuffed toy he carries at all times. Typical line Santas been buriedWhat to give him for Christmas A safe room that Santa absolutely cannot reach. You all know how kids are supposed to behave in Christmas movies, right They are there to get excited about presents, visit Father Christmas and possibly fight off determined burglars. But not here Pietari is absolutely petrified of Santa Claus and with good reason. He has read the old literature on the subject and knows that the so called Saint Nick is more concerned with punishing the naughty than rewarding the nice. He holds vigil every night in December, and tries very hard to toe the line or at least get his father to punish his infractions. After all, better a bit of parental punishment than abduction by this terrifying spirit of Christmas.
