Lemming Tracks: Christmas With the Lemming

Holidays, Christmas in particular, seem to bring out a special quality in celebrities:

• Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, in "Holiday Inn"
  (1942)
• Bing Crosby and Danny, Kaye in "White Christmas"
  (1954)
• John Denver and the Muppets, in "Rocky Mountain Holiday with John Denver and the Muppets"
  (1983)

And, of course, there were all those Bing Crosby Christmas television specials.

Christmas is also the season when studios crank out 'holiday films:'

• El Diablo and Merlin, in "Santa Claus"
  (1959)
• Kimar and Voldar, in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"
  (1964)
• Chewbacca and Darth Vader, in "The Star Wars Holiday Special"
  (1978)

With Christmas a little over a week away, the Lemming decided to take the evening off, look at that tree in the living room, and see what's on television this time around.
