The teachers and principals of Recess reminisce about those rambunctious kids
at Third Street School and how they've contirbuted to the holiday spirit --
whether trying to win a canned food drive or having to spend a weekend with the
evil Ms. Finster.
I'm not sure whether these are original vignettes or are simply
holiday-oriented highlights from past shows. I don't expect most kids will
remember, and adults will find Recess Christmas a reasonably good time -- the
bits are short, about 10 minutes each, strung together with only the most
cursory of uber-plots, so there's not too much time to get bored with the less
successful episodes. My personal favorite is TJ's stint as principal for a day
(how this relates to Christmas I have no idea...), but that's probably just my
own inflated ego talking. Dick Clark, James Earl Jones, and Robert Goulet all
make vocal appearances, too, upping the attraction for those out of short
pants.
