  • Garfield holiday specials always put the 'peanuts' ones to shame.

    Not to mention, ya gotta love his work ethic.

  • Good memories. Hope everyone has a good Christmas. I guess we miss our old ones, otherwise we wouldn't be watching this video lol.

  • 4:03 to 5:04 garfield is so negative but its so funny XD

  • i can't seem to get into the christmas spirit. ): but i do love garfield

  • Grandma's awesome. she knew she had to put some chili powder in the sausage gravy to spice it up. and Garfield gets the first taste. LMAO

  • "...& good boy & bad boy & oh boy & atta boy..." LOL I love that line. No matter how many times I see this show I laugh every time at that line.

  • nice video :)

  • FUCK YAH GARFIELD OWNS

    that 3d garbage sux my ballsax

  • Gotta love the classic!!

    The 3D SUCKS!!!

  • Oh good lord...

    There's GOOD 3d, and then there's Garfield 3d. The animation used on Garfield comes alive and these other shows they make now is really, REALLY creepy. The computer animation is twitchy and far out and the characters are ugly and mutated....it's disturbing and really disappointing when you look at the warm quality of the old animation from these good days, back when Lorenzo Music was Garfield

  • Yeah, Garfield is not how it use to be. But at least his old legacy will be around forever. I wonder if Jim Davis (creator) feels the same way. How much his creation has changed these past generations.

  • I know! I thought the same thing- is he cool with the ugly new style the cartoon has? Did he push for that look? Or is it one of those things where someone had contractual rights to make a new Garfield show regardless of how he wants it to look?

    I dunno but either way nothing beats these old cartoons. I grew up on Garfield And Friends but this Christmas special is a special classic.

  • i got this on vhs atleast three times i watch every year december 24/25 25th tomorow =)

  • I've watched this special every christmas since i was 4 or 5. one of my favorite shows that cannot be missed! merry christmas!!

  • I always knew of the Halloween awesomeness but never saw the Christmas one. All I can say is lol, that so had to be a dream. XD

  • I love that intro song... : [/---

  • lol.... when grandma puts the chili powder in the gravy and mom catches her... i used to think mom was calling grandma by her first name when she said "Byennchance." i know NOW that she's saying "by any chance." but that's what i used to think! haha...... LOVE GARFIELD XMAS... i've watched it every year since 1987!

  • At 5:13 Garfield and Odie are standing at the door with Jon, then 5:23 they walk in from outside. Anyone else catch that??

  • Lol I'd love to have that gift-giving machine. I'd give myself $200,000,000 in real United States cash. I'd also give myself free trips to Europe & everything else I want.

  • I'm 24 and I still watch this every year - it's not Christmas without it!

  • i hate the 3D Garfield they have now

  • Pat Caroll rocks , when she's not playing evil sea witchs!

  • sounds just like bill murry

  • What? Has Bill Murray played a villain?

  • Jon's grandma is crazy, and hilarious!

  • Garfield and Claymation Christmas = my two favorite Christmas specials of all time.

  • Mine too!:)

    sentientred-Thank you so much for uploading Garfield's Christmas Special!

  • this was the true Garfield series, not the crap they have on now that's all CG animated and shit

  • grandma is a badass!

  • Oh yeah. Grandma was the coolest one in this show.

  • Best quote ever..."Big fat hairy deal". LOL :D

  • Actually it would be

    "Infact I'd go so far as to say things cant get much worse than th-"*hits the pump*"...I gotta stop saying that."

  • thanks again for another year of reliable garfield x-mas vids :)

  • Is this "Garfield and Friends" or how is the series called, of which this is an episode from? Can you get it at amazon? Thx!

  • this is a x-mas special of it's own. its not part of the series :)

  • alright, thanks! And can you get a season, where some of the garfield episodes are on? I mean the usual episodes, no "specials"? there was a time, where all garfield episodes where here on youtube, but apparently this time is over, i can't find them anymore, but still want to watch them!?

    can you halp me?

  • RIP Lou Rawls.

  • I hate christmas specials today. The only decent ones are the classics. I feel bad for kids today. To be subjected to garbage every year. God bless the internet.

  • I've got onw word for your commentary enterthephoenix86, AMEN!

  • Growing up in this generation I am esspecially pissed off. Why don't we have TV like this today? Either we give all TV producers elctro-shock therapy or send them back in time to learn how to make REAL cartoons.

  • Yeah. I agree. I remember some great telivision shows....hell even power rangers was pretty good back then (I still want the older ones over these newer episodes despite the lack of quality.) and there were plenty of good classic cartoons out there that EVERYONE loved. What happend, did Hollywood cop out or something?

  • Best Christmas special EVER!!! This is when cartoons were really cartoonnot all this CGI and Pixar type nonsense.

  • Does Garfield speak through telepathy?

  • This is another christmas special that should still be play every year!!!

  • The voice actress of Ursula is the grandmother!

  • it was the 80's !!!

  • wow i grew UP on this one

  • I had a VHS when I was little with this, the Peanuts Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween special on it. I'm surprised that tape didn't break with how often we watched it.

  • used to watch this all the time when i taped it on vhs as a kid. thanks for the upload! awesome

  • Seems that Lou Rawls does the theme songs for all of the Garfield TV specials.

  • Garfeild is sooooooo great!

  • he eats an entire pan of lasagna at a time?  LOL

  • You mean Christmas

  • @ElphabaWickedGlinda xmas is the short form for christmas

  • This video was awesome, along with others from 1987... what happened with christmas specials, just don't make them like they used to.

  • I know right? Bring back the Lampoons, A Christmas Story and the Muppets! Oh, and Charlie Brown, lol.

  • Grandma voiced by the always awesome Pat Carroll!

  • Wasn't this released on video?

  • Thank you so much! I have always loved this, it's tradition now at Christmas time!

  • i grew up watching this cat... that explains why i am the way i am today -_-

  • 2:50 well....i think i see what odie is getting ^___^

  • 8:54 How high is that ceiling!?! Haha. XD

    I love watching this around Christmas time.

  • i remember these days...good times! who else agrees!

  • "Insomnia and the anxiety kids get from having to wait." That sounds like every Christmas of my childhood!

  • this was one of my favorite christmas specials. :)

  • This movie totally kills the idea of Santa..

    but good movie nontheless !

  • stupid!! buffer!!!

  • Odie is a dude!

  • omg brings back so many memories... Thanks for uploading

  • Garfield actually looks cute when he's sleeping. He's quite funny.

  • my childhood memories on tv

  • Oh my gosh! I remembered CBS used to broadcast this every year! What happened!?!? CBS needs to bring it back again!

    Thank God for eBay!

  • @MADDOG6400 Thats what im sayin,.

  • @mmcrisis8888

    Amen!!

  • fucking right they do this was the best show ever

  • I LOVED Garfield as a kid. I used to make sure my parents would get the Chicago Sun-Times because they were the only newspaper in Chicago at that time that printed the Garfield strip. His sarcastic sense of humor was great. I remember "Garfield and Friends" and this special. They'll never make cartoons with this kind of wit or razor sharp satire again.

  • why do people over-analyze a damn kids cartoon?

  • I want that chair, wish it was real

  • I really enjoyed watching this as a child. I enjoy it just the same as an adult. In fact I even asked for that Santa chair for a gift one year!

    GARFIELD RULES!

  • Man it is so fun to look up the most harmless of videos to watch some ass hat in the comments try to turn it into a debate. It makes me question how boring their lives must be, I'm sure there's a much more sufficient use of your time.

    No one cares about your political views, how you raise your child, or what the fuck you feed them. It's a fucking cartoon. Watch it, enjoy it, and shut the hell up or leave.

  • AMEN!

  • once upon a time you guys were children, come on relax !... christmas is christmas...

  • Jon's grandma is so hip and funny. I wish I had a granny like Jon's.

  • Don't think so much. It makes you say silly things like that

  • communism in and of itself was not a bad idea; the Christians were the world's first communists, so to speak, in that we share what we have. Communism in today's sense though, is terribly flawed not a healthy environment for children. Socialism or Christianity are better ideals.

  • how you can see "a garfield christmas special" as something unsuitable for your kids is kinda mind-blowing...

  • youll give ur kids some serious health problems if you feed them polish sausage everyday....

  • Its a kids cartoon, how do you get all that out of a kids cartoon, About Christmas at that??? No child thinks about the "struggle between the classes", all they know is that its Garfield being "Garfield" as usual. Let your kids be kids and watch this, it wont hurt them.

  • I guess,but why would you put them through such anguish??? Instead of showing them "happier" Christmases you should try and make their Christmas happier. Christmas is not about one classes Christmas being happier or better than the others, it is the time of year when kindness should be overflowing from everyone. So enjoy Chrismas at home, dont punish them by showing them better Christmases. Thats very cruel.

  • It's an effing kids cartoon! Why do you have to over-analyze it? Honestly, I have a hard time believing you're a parent because no parent would subject their kids to that.

  • lol tha musical

  • "thats not what i smell" lol

  • I love this show so much, watch all the episodes on Boomerang, didn't know about these old episodes :X:X

  • This brings me back. I saw this about 20 years ago when I was a kid. Aww, memories.

  • Just Search : '80's Christmas Commercials'' on youtube.

    You'll Find BOATLOADS of 80's nostalgia!

  • Aww, i miss this show :-)

  • My baby boy ws celebrating his first Christmas when this came out. Now he is a grown man serving in Iraq. Makes me have fond memories. Thanks for posting this

  • i wish hats were that warm.I wish winter was that warm we could just walkout with a hat

  • watching christmas shows at work. shhhhhhhh! don't tell my boss heehee

  • me too hahaha

  • Love the decorations, except some of the roof decorations would get in the way of Santa's arrival. I mean he can use magic to get them out of the way, but it's not nice to put Santa through extra work. Also I would love that chair, though I would only use it to get some of the more expensive and harder to get items. For example items I like from TV shows and movies.

  • one of the best specials ever!

  • My year is not complete without watching this.  My dvd got scraped up by the kids.

  • OH MAN! This brings back so many great memories!

  • ahhh i remember recording this on my old VCR! I also remember the sprite commerials with all the snow and ice, and the coke commercials with santa clause and the polar bears!

  • I wish i had that chair s000000 badly

  • its not christmas without watching this :)x

  • in my opinion, it's not christmas without seeing ANY christmas special, and this was the best one in my opinion.

  • I agree it is not christmas until you watch this
