Points that made the new Muppet Christmas Special the best thing I've seen this Christmas

1. Mayor Bloomberg makes the first celebrity cameo as himself, telling Miss Piggy that New Yorkers are famous for their politeness. Those Muppets and their irony.
   
2. Jesse Martin as the cheeriest damn mailman ever. And singing of course. Only Jesse Martin could sing a song about mail with Muppets and still be sexy. Then again Jesse Martin could sing about his own toe nails and it would be sexy. He has one of the sexiest voices ever.
   
3. Jane Krakowski as the little girl from that movie where The Rock wore a tutu's mom. She really is quite the cutie. The little girl, not Jane Krakowski. Although it was nice to see Jane playing a character besides a self absorbed actress.
   
4. Sam Eagle reminding us all that opening someone else's mail is a federal offense. It was a funny little moment, and a great reminder of the things that make the Muppets great.
   
5. Mob movie parody. Pepe and Rizzo went to see if the mob guys could get the letters to Santa the gang was trying to get mailed, mailed. The two mob bosses then declared, "You can never trust a rat!" and threatened the pair. They ran away. Then the Sweedish chef brought out a shellfish pizza. Yay Sweedish chef!
6. Animal destroys Skeeter's laptop with a club...it was a pun on hits on a web site he'd set up. Muppets love puns almost as much as they love irony
7. Muppet choreography. Always a happy bonus.
   
8. Whoopi driving a cab.
   
9. Uma Thurman as a ditzy ticket agent at JFK, and all the Muppets drooling over her.
10. Pepe and Rizzo having trouble with airline security
11. Nathan Lane as an airline security officer. He wanted a tricycle, he didn't get one. Now he's bitter.
    
12. "It's federal offense to tell jokes in an airport security line!"
13. The Old Balcony guys heckling from a brownstone window.
14. It takes 3 hours to get from New York to the North Pole by plane...fun fact huh?
15. Gonzo and Fozzie duet. They're like the Ringo and George of the Muppets. Totally underrated but possibly the best part.
16. Uncle Vernon as Santa
17. Kermit wishing us a Happy Holidays. There's nothing like Muppets to make Christmas just that much better.
