Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Christmas is coming and I like cartoons. Thus, I am hosting a holidays animation festival for my college. I figured I have a vast enough knowledge of animation to choose a diverse program. Well, I'm about half-right.
See, the school wants more than Christmas. That's tough. I know the Rugrats have a Hanukkah special, but nothing else jumps out at me. Any suggestions? Anything foreign that I can find on DVD or online?
However, I know of a few things that NEED to go on...
Tokyo Godfathers is oddly enough one of my favorite holiday films of all time. Granted, given that criteria, there's not much competition. However, I really do like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation a lot...
Mega Man: Wish Upon a Star: Let's just say it's fun watching Dr. Wily get chased off by kids after stealing their Japanese, holiday candy.
Disney's Little Match Girl: Oh, my God, yes. I will be administering an eye-moistness test after showing the short. If anybody has dry eyes, I'm defenestrating them.
Honestly, anybody who's main holiday intent is mall-hopping needs to see this just to put life into perspective.
A Very Merry Cricket ftw.
Agreed? Also, any suggestions for non-denominational winter holiday, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa (bleh), or winter solstace animation?
Also, I'm aware I'm missing the obligatory Charlie Brown, Frosty, and Rudolph specials. While I still consider Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown as the best Christmas-related ANYTHING of all time, I'm trying to stay away from the things you see EVERYWHERE halfway through December.

First things that came to mind were various anime series Xmas episodes. However, The Big O might be an option with "Daemonseed" for amusement.

Garfield Christmas special. Just watched it again.
Odie builds a back-scratcher
Die Buster
Christmas comes to Pac-land
Sadly and seriously, this was the first thing that came to mind with holiday special.
I just mouse-over'd that by accident.
Fuck. Christmas is ruined!

PS: They end up having a good old fashioned Christmas down on the farm. (A little over eatin' never did them any harm)
I used to have this tape that had all of these super fucking awesome Christmas specials recorded right off of TV in like 1987, and I taped over it in 1993 for some Family Channel Sea World special that my mother wouldn't let me watch because it was dinner time. If I could go back in time and beat the shit out of myself for something, it would most definitely be that.
Oh, and:
is on very thin ice.
Pinky & The Brain Christmas.
also, Invader Zim's The Most Horrible Xmas Ever.
