The other (better) Turtle Christmas (Patreon)

I'm not done talking about The Ninja Turtles, or Christmas, or The Ninja Turtles doing a Christmas. In addition to the crappy musical one that everybody loves to shit on, there's also a good TMNT holiday special. In fact, it's one of the earliest TMNT stories from the original comics, adapted for the 2003 animated series, which I do remember watching but barely remember anything about.

Strangely, the 80s cartoon never adapted this story, or did any Christmas episodes at all throughout it's entire run of nearly 200 episodes. I guess Michelangelo going on a killing spree and getting into a police chase was considered too hardcore for TV at the time. But by 2003 we were ready for it.
