THE PUZZLE CORNER: DECEMBER 20, 2014

FUN FACT
Despite the fact that most businesses already close on December 25th, Christmas didn't officially become a Federal holiday in the United States until June 1970!

TRIVIA TIME
If you've been following The Puzzle Corner this holiday season, you know there are 4 animated specials that have been continuously shown on TV annually since their debut.
Besides listing what the 4 are, can you also name the year each one debuted?

FAMOUS FIRSTS
Although it unfortunately hasn't gained the renown of the quartet above, there is one animated TV special that debuted before all the others. Do you know when and what it is?

We'll reveal all next weekend.
Now, let's open the festive holiday ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from the December 13th, 2014 Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
