growing up if you celebrated christmas it truly was a magical event cookies eaten by santa
presents left under the tree everyone pretending like they like eggnog it was as much of a gift
as the actual gifts you would get whether it was a hot wheels car or a nice pair of socks
thanks grandma you're welcome shin the euphoria you can feel especially as a kid receiving the
majority of the gifts can easily cause a major seasonal down right after much like a sugar crash
but what if you can experience it all again the next day the day after the next day the next
next next day would you wish for that in today's video we take a look at timmy
turner the boy with fairy godparents as he wishes for just that christmas every day
welcome to the first day of the 25 days of fringe miss where every day from today until the 25th of
december we take a look at nostalgic shows holiday-themed episodes and more in order to
help me find that holiday spirit i've lost in my adult life over the past decade so if you want to
be a part of this daily journey and help me find that good old jolly joy subscribe and come aboard
first off i just want to say how much i love early fairly odd parents the pre-poof era especially was
a major part of my childhood from the writing to the animation to chompy you're here to save me
there's so much to love about it and i hope to cover more of it in the future if you'd like to
see that today though we are specifically talking about the christmas episode christmas every day
one of the christmas specials i hold dear from my childhood so hopefully some of that joy and wonder
can come rushing back ah yes if any cartoon episode had a special title opening sequence
that was more than just a static title card you knew you were in for a treat we get to see that
everyone in town is getting ready for christmas the next day the town is full of people shopping
singing decorations and snow only thing missing is my mom blasting michael buble
yes i did go to a michael buble concert as well when we catch up to timmy we find him
on christmas eve being babysat by vicky forced to gift-wrap fruitcakes for her enjoyment we see
him recount a moment when vicky tried selling him and his friends as ice sculptures and a
bit about being cold and breaking free only to be frozen by vicky once more mid-jump and then going
so cold once again is such a core memory for me this one little cutaway joke has just stuck
with me for so long and i still love it while christmas eve so far isn't going to plan for
timmy he is riddled with excitement for tomorrow saying christmas is the greatest day ever his
parents come busting down the chimney after their christmas eve escapades wearing matching sweaters
to pay vicki her christmas bonus of sending her home for the holidays early timmy filled
with joy as the parents decorated the house that night with all the christmas decor they could add
i don't know about you but my family growing up would start the christmas decorations right
after halloween and in later years on thanksgiving this whole waiting until the night before is so
unrealistic sometimes i beg it to be true like i said this series fringe miss is me trying to find
the spirit not automatically have it so sorry if i sound a bit jaded okay much like timmy now
waiting for the sun to rise where it was a fair enough hour to wake your parents up for christmas
it was the same for me even if i couldn't sleep all that much the night before i had to wait a
fair amount of time to selfishly wake up everyone in the house to open up the presents the sun rises
timmy wakes up his parents and we see this huge reveal of a literal sea of toys in their living
room that timmy scrooge mcducks his way into as he breaks into song wishing for christmas every day
and how great christmas is there's this running bit about timmy not getting a girlfriend that's
pretty funny i relate to you little dude but can we for just a brief moment talk about how great
the musical numbers and the fairly oddparents are like seriously whether it's moments like
this or full-on chip skylark in it the show always made well-animated fun and catchy musical numbers
that are still stuck in my head to this day oh and timmy still can't get a girlfriend right as
the song is finishing up and timmy is laying down in bed to rest for the night christmas is coming
to an end he still utters a wish for it to be christmas every day where cosmo and wanda still
have to grant the wish even if wanda does say i just wish he didn't fairly odd parents will return
fairly soon i wish the fairly odd parents were back
the next day begins and timmy is excited it's christmas again as the rest of the world just
just accepts it i guess a whole new set of toys left for timmy just like the day before and the
joy timmy feels doesn't fade in the slightest but there is a secret that cosmo and wanda aren't
telling timmy especially after timmy expresses that he has never been happier how could they rip
that joy from him right christmas keeps happening every day for over two weeks and by the 15th day
there is but a few presents left for timmy rather than a c like in previous days the town starts to
fall apart as the banks are still closed for the holiday grocery stores aren't open and the schools
are still closed i'm good with this with everyone freaking out we see it's become a worldwide issue
where even the military are running operations to take down santa while the average person is
blocking or setting up traps on their chimneys timmy starts to see the weight of his wish
how something that is good and a source of joy can become the complete opposite
if you have it non-stop if it's always joy all the time how do you know what joy
truly is how can you truly appreciate it when timmy goes to wish for christmas to finally
end the fairy's magic doesn't work and the wish is not granted at the same time the rest of the
holiday mascots led by the easter bunny confront timmy about making this wish in the first place
and how because of it their holidays will never come back around here is where we learn the
secret that cosmo and wanda would not tell timmy and it's that every year when santa is ready to
start delivering gifts around the world he relies on all the fairies to pull their magic together
to help him accomplish this and since there has been 15 days of christmas in a row the magic
from the fairies and all of the fairy world is essentially depleted it's all being used for santa
i actually really had a kick of how corporate they show the north pole kringle's factory and
santa himself with how much of a conglomerate the holidays especially christmas has become
this is exactly how i've personally felt in my adult life with the illusion of magic for me
just being gone the other holiday mascots now want to banish santa to the made-up day
of february 33rd and steal the fairies from timmy leaving him with no option but to save the world
from christmas every day and santa from the other holidays thanks to deus ex datica timmy has all
the perfect tools to help him on his journey to the north pole also the aid of other children all
over the world after he asked across the internet for people to help him fast forwarding a bit
after timmy makes his way to the north pole and sneakily hitches a ride from the other holidays
before stalling them and more of the easter bunny hiding eggs it's just so funny this little quirk
detail that he has timmy warns santa of what's going on and that he's in danger we see a nice
growth for timmy here who in order to save santa and future christmases for everyone else in the
world he admits to selfishly making the wish and gladly accepts his punishment of coal from santa
from now on but this moment is short-lived as the holiday mascots do burst in and they make a pretty
funny mistletoe joke darn it mistletoe i like yours a friend you're a good person santa tries
using his magic but the holiday mascots use the fairies as conductors to absorb it all from santa
and power up the easter bunny with enough power to banish the weakened santa goodbye chris kringle
now back to the fairly oddparents on nick right before it happens timmy stands up to the other
holidays along with every kid around the world who magically made their way to the north pole as well
and we find out how the other holiday mascots ultimately don't feel as loved as santa always
seems to get from the kids but they realize that they are appreciated and the kids are the reason
they do what they do now the only thing left to do since all the magic is back with santa
who is still under timmy's wish he and every kid write santa asking for him to deliver december
26th much like myself for committing to 25 videos in a row but hey the world moves on
santa has to deliver on the wants of all these kids so after a whole reprisal of the wish every
day was christmas song now rewritten to explain the lesson learned the next day finally arrives
the fairies get their magic back and a new role is added to the rules that bans wishing for christmas
every day we even see next christmas that timmy and the other holiday mascots pitch in to help
do the deliveries around the world for santa as to make up for the 15 days straight of doing it
himself the year before a nice way to bookend the episode a solid lesson being taught in some
comfort for the soul during the season again also a great musical number this episode hits
pretty heavy for me especially when i was younger and wished for christmas every day as well i mean
who wouldn't as a kid who celebrates it nonstop presents no school it just seems too good to be
true and that's because it is as an adult i fully understand that but seeing this lesson help me
cherish and appreciate christmas better as a child while it's fun and nonsensical also full of eggnog
gross it captures the spirit of christmas that i am desperately wanting to find for myself again
jordan you must
