With only three more days till Christmas…wait…did you just say three!?!? OMG! Christmas is just around the corner. Anyways, back to what I was trying to say, with only three more days till Christmas, I thought I would share a little episode that really put me in the Christmas spirit.
Prep and Landing by Walt Disney Animation Studios was aired on ABC a couple of weeks ago and will air again on Christmas Eve at 8pm. Taken from their website, here is the gist of it.
The half-hour holiday special reveals the never-before-told tale of an elite unit of Elves known as Prep & Landing. Every Christmas Eve, this high-tech organization ensures that homes around the world are properly prepared for a visit from the Big Guy (aka Santa Claus).
After working tirelessly on Prep & Landing for 227 years, an elf named Wayne (voice of Dave Foley) is upset when he doesn’t receive an expected promotion to be the Director of Naughty List Intelligence. Instead, Magee (voice of Sarah Chalke), the North Pole Christmas Eve Command Center Coordinator (NPCECCC for short), partners Wayne with Lanny (voice of Derek Richardson), an idealistic rookie who has an undying enthusiasm for Christmas.
During their Christmas Eve mission, Wayne and Lanny encounter unexpected challenges that push them to their limits. Will the elves be able to guide Dasher, Dancer, and the rest of the reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh through a raging snowstorm to ensure a Merry Christmas for all?
Enjoy the video! It is heart-warming, funny, and creative! What puts you in the Christmas mood?
merry Christmas!
