Every year on December 24th, after all of the Christmas Eve festivities with family are over and done with, I go home and watch the Star Wars Holiday Special. It’s my own personal tradition. It was made in 1978 after the release of the first film in the franchise, featuring pretty much the entire cast of A New Hope (and even the debut of Boba Fett!), and it’s the worst thing to ever air on television. It is about Chewbacca’s family – Mala, Itchy, and Lumpy – waiting for him to arrive so they could celebrate Life Day.

If you’d like to watch the FULL Holiday Special, I’ve included it down below. Tweet me your favorite parts later if you do, and happy Life Day to all!
