@daddyio33 lol yes! Those 3 people just don't really get it - what Christmas really is all about. Greatest thing about that Christmas feeling is that people who don't like it don't spoil it at all for those who do. lol They can't touch it with a 50 foot pole or otherwise. Isn't it "odd" that Christmas bugs them so much. lol Me thinks they doth protest too loudly. lololol
Amazon's selling it, but for $99 and it has been edited. But there was a comment in the reviews that stated we should try to write to Disney to get it properly released
in my opinion, this is the definitive version of this song. such great memories of 'a muppet family christmas' [1987] tv special. im so fortunate to have the ultra rare dvd. what a fantastic special, full of heart. they dont make em like this anymore!
@christmasmatt21 They did it in the Christmas Special "Muppet Family Chirstmas" by in 1986 or '87 one of the last things Jim Henson worked on before his death. This would be the opening number at that. I really can only ever thing of this song myself with the muppets singing it.
I was 2 years old when Sesame Street hit the airwaves , so I grew up with these guys. Jim Henson was the first celebrity whose passing truly effected me. He was so busy ...and SO GOOD at entertaining us, we didn't realize the he was teaching us all the while. In this world righ now we, "Need a Little Jim"
Actually, if Jim were still living he would be either 74 or 75 by now. I would have to do the research to find his exact age, but I know he would be older than 72.
Are you guys talking about Jim Henson??? Man, I wish he were still around, too. He would have had the promise that his company made to the Dark Crystal fans come true for sure... IF he decided to make the sequel. We were promised a continuation of The Dark Crystal this year... But at least it didn't go to waste- we got the Muppets instead. :)
My sister and my aunt attempted to see the new Muppet Movie on Black Friday, but it was all sold out! I am sure that the novelty of it will wear off in a week or two. In any event, I will probably wait for it to come to DVD.
While we are on the topic of favorite songs, I would like it to be known that mine is "The Power in my Purse". This is a rap song from the movie "Marci X". What a lovely movie! Lisa Kudrow forever!
@LukeL007 Definitely one of the best Christmas specials ever. I was just thinking about it yesterday when I nearly slipped on an "icy patch" on the front porch. :)
@LukeL007 Not only that, bring it back with all the songs, pay the royalties and get one of my favorite Christmas Specials back to it's full self.
Sorry, I do realize you're comment's probably over 2 years old when I'm writing this but still, I want my full Muppet Family Christmas special not this cut up version they sold to people more recently because they decided on to pay the darn royalties for the songs.
@LadyHusky17 The sad thing is that Disney now owns it. With their hands their own company, Marvel and so many other things - they can afford to release this.

I will agree that the world really could use a new Jim Henson! A new Winston Churchill might be nice too! One can dream!

53 was how old he was when he died. We were discussing how old he would be now if he were still living.

Haul out the holly
We're heading home so we can start to celebrate
Fill up the stockings
We may be rushing things but we can hardly wait now
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
Yes we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
Fozzie, we're all in a hurry

Haul out the holly
Turn on the brightest string of lights we've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough
For we need a little music, need a little laughter
Need a little singing ringing through the rafter
And we need a little snappy happy ever after
We need a little Christmas now
