How Murray Saved Christmas is a 2014 Christmas Special that aired on NBC written by The Simpsons producer Mike Reiss, starring Jerry Stiller as Murray Weiner, Sean Hayes as Edison Elf, Kevin Michael Richardson as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, Jason Alexander as Dr. Holiday, John Ratzenberger as Officer Bender, Dennis Haysbert as the Baby New Year and the Narrator, with Nick Jameson, Tom Kenny, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, and Billy West to round out the cast.The story takes place in a town called Stinky Cigars which is home to many of the world's holidays both famous and obscure. Among the residents is Murray, a grumpy fellow who owns the local diner. On Christmas Eve, as most of these stories tend to take place, one of the elves named Edison accidentally knocks out Santa with his invention just as he's about to take off for his yearly round. When none of the town's residents prove capable of filling in for Santa, Murray is picked to fill in the red coat. Naturally, Murray is reluctant, but is eventually coaxed into it. Though can he overcome his grumpiness and find the holiday sp- Oh, who are we kidding, of course he will. The fun, of course, is how he'll get it back. | |

Holiday Personification | |
| How Murray Saved Christmas / int_aec20756 | comment |
Holiday Personification: Most of the residents of Stinky Cigars (outside of Santa and his elves), are personifications of holidays, big and small — there's a Baby New Year, an Easter Bunny, Lincoln and Washington for Presidents' Day, and of course Labor Day Amos. Murray sticks out as one of the few seemingly normal human residents of the town, until it's revealed that he's the personification of the forgotten holiday "Milk Man Day". | |

| How Murray Saved Christmas / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Lincoln, Washington and Uncle Sam fight like The Three Stooges. When Murray encounters a little boy, it plays out like the Grinch's encounter with Cindy Lou Who. Among the names Murray calls the reindeer are Cosmo and Kramer, Kramden and Norton and Alice and Trixie. The second time he listed the reindeer, he called them Bambi and Rambo and Dopey and Doc, Scotty and Sulu, Uhura and Spock. During the elves part in the final number, they recreate the dance scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas. When Dr. Holiday checks up on Santa, he does his a musical song reminiscent of Mary Poppins' "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious": Dr. Holiday adds another verse when he visits Murray and gives him a psychiatric diagnosis: | |

| How Murray Saved Christmas / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Santa is surprisingly pretty callous in this verison. He berates his elves, can't remember their names, charges them for cocoa, heck even calls kids "brats" at one point. The only reason he isn't more of a Bad Santa is because he at least still wants to do the job and even attempted to do it when he briefly recovers long past the point where it was too late to do any good. | |

Rhymes on a Dime | |
| How Murray Saved Christmas / int_fb17af62 | comment |
