One of, if not the best christmas special ever

This has it all, nostalgia, comedy, kindness, an incredible animation and the bestmessage ever

The song, that song is the best, and fits the special perfectly

This follows the misshaps of Ziggy and kis dog while attempting to work as a Santa, and there comes the first funny bit, Ziggy's obliviousness to all the evil that is there but cannot corrupt him

No matter what happens to him, he keeps his kind spirit and behaviour, and teaches a great lesson to a crook and a police officer, and brings christmas joy to what I assume is an orphanage, making christmas a very merry christmas for a bunch of kids, who, as the caretaker says, are never visited by anyone

This is a must see in the christmas season, I could watch it every single day in the season and not tire.
