A Very Gilly Christmas

On Thursday night, Saturday Night Live presented a christmas special instead of reruns of their Thursday primetime lineup.  Good decision NBC.  The special had some of my very favorite skits/characters of all time, so here is the link to watch: http://www.hulu.com/watch/116126/saturday-night-live-snl-presents-a-very-gilly-christmas.  And here are some time frames of the skits you might want to take the time to watch:

0:00:  The show is introduced with a typical Gilly sketch, with Kristen Wiig starring in the role of Gilly.  Sorry. Yah. Uh huh. What. I love this recurring character.

17:35: Adam Sandler performing his Hanukkah song for the very first time (I'm pretty sure).  So much funnukah.

25:40: Hey babe. babe.  she looks like a rabbit. yayyyy. Have you guessed the skit yet?  It's one of my favorites.  That's right.  Two A-Holes at a Nativity Scene.  I love these recurring characters...and i don't understand with Kristen and Jason Sudeikis still on the show they don't do this skit more.

30:08: Probably one of my most favorite original christmas songs ever aired on the show. "I wish it was christmas today" with Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan.  I'm pretty sure they used to perform this every winter when they were all on together on the show.  It takes me back to my middle school/early high school days.  Highlights: Jimmy Fallon trying not to break into laughter combined with Tracy Morgan dancing with no chance of ever breaking into laughter.  I have know idea how he does it. Clearly would be a different story if he was looking in a mirror.

46:37: Probably the most well-known original christmas song ever aired on the show at this point.  It's my Dick in a Box!

58:43: Schweddy Balls.  Probably Alec Baldwin's best sketch. always a good laugh.

While these are just some of the highlights, there are many other good ones that I didn't mention.  So if you have the time, watch the whole special. You'll get a good laugh (and if anything, a good stroll down pop culture's lane).  Happy Holidays!
