Marvel Holiday Special 2006 somehow, some way, managed to be almost be as good as Marvel Holiday Special 2005, which is impressive, as the Marvel Holiday Special 2005 was awesometastic.
Speaking of holiday specials, did you notice that DC ruined the awesome pun of their "Infinite Christmas" Holiday Special by renaming it "Infinite Holiday?" That pun was one of the few decisions of the new Didio DC that I respected. Horrible move.
I resent the bunny using "tastic" at the end of words. Tastic is mine. Mine! Next it'll be sticking "tacular" at the end of stuff. Then I'll be really mad!
Also, thank God that we can dispense with anything related to Christmas (or indeed the subject of the bunny ramble) and start playa' hating on Didio. I had a Didio fan insult me on my site the other day...man, I showed him. What's that? Yes, I have been drinking in a festive fashion. Why do you ask?
....also, I agree. The Marvel special was rather entertaining, though I can't say why. Humorously enough, I don't buy any Marvel but was so annoyed by the removal of the Infinite Christmas gag, I bought the Marvel title instead and really stuck it to Dan the man. Bam!
I bought the special based on a recommendation from the cbr forums. The ideas sounded interesting, but the execution was dreadful. I got through it only because I spent good money on it.
And since the subject of Infinite Christmas has reared it's ugly head again, I'll go on record and say I was hoping it would have been the first of a series of Holiday-themed pun books. (Zero Haunakah, anyone?)

I'm a big fan of holiday specials!

The subject of Infinite Christmas was brought up here? When? I must have missed that one. Can someone provide a link? Was it over at the forum?
