orangerfulWe watched "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" yesterday as part of my Christmas viewing marathon and I think...I think it may be the best non-denominational holiday winter special of all time.
I'm not sure if everyone can watch it or not, but Hulu has it highlighted on their front page today so it may be free to view.
It really gets to the core of what holidays are for. Of what any festival is for. The celebrations that are meant to lift us up when the world is at its coldest. To keep us active and around friends when the days are shortest. That tradition has a purpose, though it might not be a measurable or tangible one. It's about faith, but not in one specific god, but just faith in life, in the world, in your friends, in your family.
And that you should always bring your mittens.
I don't think this episode gets enough credit or attention. Seriously, if you have 20 minutes tonight, watch it.
