Finally, a Christmas tale that doesn't get all bogged down with that whole "True Spirit of Christmas" mishmash.  A bunch of physically-identical orphans wake up on Christmas morning, completely unconcerned with their lack of parents or even food.  No, what does them in is finding out that their Christmas loot is subpar.  Not to worry!  Thanks to the lack of privacy laws in the 1930s, an eccentric old man discovers their plight and decides to get them some toys.  The kids are left on their own to find food and adult supervision. 

Christmas Comes But Once a Year is being offered as a video iRiff, so there's no need to hunt down a $2 DVD at the dollar store to enjoy this vintage goodness!

First off, I was a bit turned off by the sample cause not a single joke made sense. That's because the jokes in the sample are waaaay out of sync. Anyway, a lot of good moments, a bit to much dead space, and it tends to fall onto the drug jokes a bit much. Not the best, but you've got a lot of potential. Favorite Riff: "Now, walk! Haha, I love playing god!" Perfect timing on that one.

Thanks for telling me about the broken sample, I'll get right on that and fix it up.

Edit: Fixed.
