I didn't grow up with this film as a holiday tradition and I can see why I've probably never just accidentally ran across it on TV for around 40 years; it's not very good (especially compared to other, more popular Christmas specials). The story is a ridiculous mess, the songs are... meh, and it's just not very Christmassy (it's actually more of a Groundhog Day story than anything). I'd pass on this if you didn't grow up with it.
