For Gen Xers, nothing harkens us back to the holidays of yor quite like the old Rankin and Bass Christmas specials. The Heat Miser and the Snow Miser were featured in one of the better ones, The Years Without a Santa Claus. Which, thanks to ABC Family, I just finished watching. Not quite as good as it was in the 70s, but holds up better than many of the R&B specials. Just try to sit through the Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, I dare you.
It seems the Heat Miser is the more popular of the two Miser brothers, even though they both have pretty much the same song and the same four mini-me minions. Must be Heat's hair that gives him the edge.
