In another part of Philly, the Cosby Kids are rehearsing for a Christmas pageant at their junkyard clubhouse, which Tyrone, the mean old junkyard owner, is fixin’ to tear down. That’s when Marshall & his parents show up. With their car broken down, Marshall’s mom is about to have a baby and his dad, without health insurance, inspires the gang to invite them in the clubhouse for shelter. Tyrone agrees to let them stay until the baby is born, in exchange for Fat Albert working for him as a sidewalk Santa. “Ho-ho-ho’s” in Fat Albert fashion ensue. After the old hobo, Mudfoot, gives Tyrone a lecture about how he’s been grumpy at the world ever since his wife died, the junkyard owner has a change of heart and promises to keep the gang’s clubhouse in tact.
Customer Review: One of the Most Memorable and Moving Christmas Classics…..
This was one of my favorite Christmas specials as a kid. I really, really wish I could find it on DVD for a decent price. I procrastinated picking it up when I had the chance. I never thought it would go out of print so quickly. Does any one know if this will be available again? As much as I love it, and as touching a Christmas special it is, I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices these extortionist sellers are attempting to sell it for. Additionally, I can’t understand why the Halloween and Easter specials (which I picked up) are available, but not this one. Any info would be most appreciated.
Customer Review: Should be among Top 10 kids’ Xmas videos — Pure quality
The year this video came out, I was a teenager already; however it really touched me then & it did when I saw it again years later. I’ve not seen it on TV in recent years nor does it seem to be available for purchase. So sad…

Unlike so many kids Xmas videos, this one’s *content* is wonderful & expresses the true meaning of Christmas — junkyard style, updated for the 20th Century. A truly beautiful program that’s in true keeping w. the spiritual meaning of the season. “BUY NOW”
