and the Number 1 Sci-Fi Holiday TV Special…

1> Christmas on Dune: Chani relates the inspirational true story of the new Messiah, Alia throws a hissy fit when she does not get the presents she wants, there’s an awkward moment when the Reverend Mother and Stilgar wind up under the mistletoe and Paul makes it snow everywhere.
