    Actually, all you'd have to do would be to add an angel or two and a
some snowflakes and voila! Instant Christmas special. Instead some of us
couldn't figure it out, I was joking (duh) about the "special", though
H-B has done some pretty amazing "this meets that" hackery in the past -
in one instance Warner's even agreed to lend their Looney Tunes characters.
This had better _never_ happen with the 'KAT guys - it'd be undignified
at best, and obscenely tacky at worst.
