The UK got an alternative televised Christmas message this year. In addition to the Queen's traditional address to the nation, Channel 4 aired an exclusive animated piece for English viewers. In it, Marge Simpson spoke to viewers wishing them a Merry Christmas, using various British cliche's. All the family members dropped in at some point during the speech, including Homer dressed as 'Father Christmas' and Lisa with her much publicised 'Free Cornwall' protest. If you don't live in the UK you wouldn't have been able to see this message on television, but it can be downloaded in its entirety by clicking here or catch some fun clips on the Channel 4 website here.
Thanks to Adam and the Simpsons Channel for this story.

If you want to make Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes go ballistic - and I wouldn't advise it - just suggest that his broadcast journalists are shills for President Bush and the Republicans.
