As an example of how just about anything could get on television in the '80s, theres ALF... which stands for Alien Life Form. Alf was the title character of an '80s TV sitcom, whereby the friendly alien resides with an '80s American family after his spaceship crashes.
Someone posted on Youtube some clips from a Christmas program featuring this character. I haven't actually seen the Christmas program, but it looks like Alf is learning about the holiday spirit, and getting it right.
Speaking of '80s television, and '80s Christmas festivities, fellow '80s blogger Dougsploitation has a post on '80s era TV Guide covers. Very cool, check it out.
UPDATE: And Rediscover the '80s has an excellent collection of '80s Christmas specials on video. Check it out!! Looks like Santa came early this year with '80s era memories as presents.

Great post! I loved watching Alf in the 80s (and still do whenever the opportunity arises to catch an episode). The Christmas episode was sweet. Thanks for reminding me of it. :)
