He talks about the nostalgia of watching the old Christmas specials, and valuing the time we do get to spend with family, friends, and those close to us.\\n\\nGamerDude also breaks down the Christmas specials he grew up with, and questions whether Frosty, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Rudolph actually convey the true meaning of Christmas.\\xa0 He also explains why The Little Drummer Boy, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas are the three Christmas specials that - to him - convey the true spirit of Christmas.\\n\\nGamerDude closes the episode with thanks to all his friends and followers who\'ve supported him over the years, and talks about how friendships, and human interaction is still possible, and still valuable, even in the electronic age we\'re in.'
