Tired of the umpteenth showing of “White Christmas” on AMC? Well, then, let’s revisit a classic Christmas special that was truly “special”: the “Star Wars Holiday Special” from 1978, which featured Carrie Fisher warbling that memorable holiday carol, “Happy Life Day.” This show aired only once; while George Lucas wasn’t involved in the production, he reportedly told a “Star Wars” convention in Australia — quote — “”If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it.”
Happy Life Day!
UPDATE: Speaking of “Star Wars,” check out The Anchoress for a funny send-up of a familiar Christmas song.
