I can remember some of the bits from that episode, and how I reacted to seeing them. They are among my earliest memories. Those early shows were a major influence on my sense of humor, music and who knows what else.</p><p>Here is a collection of Muppet holiday cards, going back in time far before the Muppet show. The earlier ones were prints made by Jim Henson himself. </p><div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c10e0f74ddd3b400e398ca6b530004 6a00c10e0f74ddd3b400e398ca6b520004 6a00c10e0f74ddd3b400e398ca5d0c0002 6a00c10e0f74ddd3b400e398ca77d70003 6a00c10e0f74ddd3b400e398ca5d0a0002" at:format="strip-horizontal" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-strip enclosure-strip-horizontal" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style=" margin: 5px;
