Tickle-Me-Elmo Christmas episode?

I think in keeping with the spirit of making fun of ridiculous events in the news (such as the premise for the Kenny Rogers' Roasters episode), the writers should do a Christmas episode. (Have they ever done one?) In it, they should spoof last Christmas' ludicrous Tickle-Me-Elmo fiasco. You remember it. Parents were fighting and being sent to hospital emergency wards with broken bones trying to secure a rare model of the oh-so-cute Elmo (from Sesame Street) doll because it burst out laughing when you tickled him and their own little monsters were demanding one because Jimmy down the street was getting one for Christmas.

The spoof could include a "Scratch-Me-Samuel" doll or a "Walk-on-my-Back-Billy" doll that could do something kooky if the appropriate action were applied. It'd be kinda like when they spoof movies on the show with ridiculous sounding names, except this time they'd be doing it with a child's toy. Kramer could be buying one for the kid he was Big-Brothering. There would, of course, be the requisite fight-in-the-Toy's-R-Us store scene. Really folks, the doll itself could be much funnier and more creative than I just described.

Any suggestions or comments, constructive or otherwise?!

They did a Christmas episode - remember Kramer was the Santa Clause and his friend (the Little Person) was the elf. This was also a spoof of *Miracle on 34th Street*. Did many others catch that?

I howled (ok chuckled) when Kramer pretended to speak a foreign language and the mother snatched her daughter away.

I just wanted to add that I have seen one episode that was sorda Christmassy, It had something to do with Elaine's work having a Christmas party, and, a guy that she was seeing was there also. The guy she was seeing was a recovering alcholic and Jerry was talking to him about it. Well Elaine sits her spiked Eggnog down right next to his Non-alcoholic one & he drinks hers by accident! It was really funny!! But, I think they dont do too many Christmas episodes b/c Jerry is Jewish! I dunno, but thats what I think anyway!
