Remember when Mrs. Brady lost her voice and Cindy asked Santa Claus to cure her in time to sing at Church on Christmas? Remember when Ralph Kramden sold his bowling ball to pay for a gift for Alice? When Alex P. Keaton endures his own Scrooge-esque nightmare, sitcom-style?
No, you don’t remember? Well, maybe you know someone who does. And that someone would probably enjoy the Holiday Treats DVD.
