A Garfield Christmas is the sixth half-hour animated special based on the Garfield comic strip. It features the voice and music talent that is common in Garfield animated specials including Lorenzo Music (the voice of Garfield) and Lou Rawls (provides the songs). The special premiered in 1987. A Garfield Christmas has earned a place in the Christmas television special canon and has enjoyed traditional holiday-time airings (by the former distributor of Garfield television specials CBS) since its premiere, through the late 1990s.

Storyline

On Christmas Eve, Garfield, Jon, and Odie travel to the countryside to celebrate Christmas with Jon's farm family. Making their animated debuts are the sweet and always cooking Mom, hard working farmer Dad, mischievous younger brother Doc Boy and the tough as nails Grandma. As we get to know the wacky's members of Jon's family, Odie is busy working on something secretive. Grandma and Garfield eventually grow a special bond. That night Garfield finds out about Odie's suspicious activity and follows him into the barn while there he stumbles upon some old letters. The next morning is Christmas and just when it seems like all the presents have been opened Garfield gives Grandma the letters he found in the barn. These letters were love notes written to Grandma by her late husband from when they first met and courted. Garfield finds out that Odie had been busy making Garfield the ultimate Christmas gift: a homemade back scratcher.

The special closes with one of the most memorable lines in Christmas television special history as Garfield quotes: "Christmas...it's not the getting. It's not giving... It's the loving. There, I said it. Now get outta here."
