Synopsis
Added by ScarecroeThe story is told by Stiller the Elf to Stan the Snowball, recounting the year Christmas almost didn't happen. Stiller recalls that Oscar the Grouch had been researched as the one who had more Christmas joy than anyone else. As such, he plans to give him the official Christmas-Counter-Downer, without which Christmas can't happen. When Oscar throws it away, the windows on it vanish, and it's up to Elmo to once again save Christmas.
Trivia
- Stan the Snowball, impressed by the fact that Stiller the Elf not only narrates but actually appears in the story, says that he is "a big star, like the Grinch, or Frosty, or that round-headed kid who picked out that crummy tree!"
