Nestor The Long Eared Christmas Donkey

On this episode of The Holiday Specials We Love, we dive-into or ummmm cry into Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, the 1977 Rankin & Bass Special with German roots. We talk how that what we perceive as our weaknesses can often become our greatest strengths. We cry with Nestor from the abuse from the other animals, being literally thrown into the snow, to losing his mom, to being physically and emotionally abused. We talk the sleezy salesman who says long ears are on-trend- to Mary’s Jedi Mindtrick. To Nestor- listening to the voices on his journey thru the sandstorm helping Mary and Joseph reach Bethlehem. Where was the apology from Olaf? Did Tilly have to shine SO bright? And Spieltoe-What? Why? A strong 4¼ - 4 ½ candy cane rating, although not sure this will be an every year watch- it’s just a bit much. As always Text us your thoughts and any Q&A to 351-251-2511.
