In honor of the holidays we present to you to 23 minutes of your life you'll never be able to get back -- Christmas Comes to Pacland.
This made-for-television cartoon special first aired on ABC in December of 1982, which makes this gem 26 years-old. But this Hanna-Barbera-produced special is truly timeless, giving us a deeper look at Pac-Man's family life, and some insight into what makes the little fellow chomp -- the spirit of giving.
Thanks to the Christmas miracle of YouTube, Christmas Comes to Pacland has been preserved for all to see; you can catch the three clips after the jump. Reindeer eating power pellets and the shocking revelation that Mrs. Pac-Man's name is actually "Pepper" awaits you.

I think a more important question would be "Why not?"

Anyway, what I meant to say was:
SNIFF
I miss the 80s. :(
It's not that bad. I loved any kind of cartoons as a youngster. I had a soft spot in my heart for this particular gem every saturday morning for a year or two. There was a great villian in the cartoon too - Mezmeron - a half human / half cyborg sorcerer with a darth vader thing going on.
P-P-P-PAC POWER!
What. The. Hell.
Just, uh...
What a terrible, terrible thing.
