Featured review
Gleason at his best!
Jackie Gleason was superb at playing his various character roles and creating a sense of excitement for a holiday party the viewer never actually sees. The program also captures a time when city streets were jammed with expectation and last minute shopping on Christmas Eve which includes the simple Kramden couple.
Gleason weaves a storyline that includes humor and a sentimental feel for the holiday. His portrayal of the "poor soul" is a highlight that shows his ability to go from a loud buffoon to a touching everyman. This program has had too few airings and is one the best "special" Honeymooners episodes.
