The following is from the book A Century of Christmas Memories 1900-1999:
"Jim Henson's irreverent and lovable gang starred in 1992's A Muppet Christmas Carol, helping kick off the nineties on a happy note. Yuletides this decade were marked by events like the December 1991 release of hostage Terry Anderson and the 1995 launch of online auction site eBay. Blockbuster movies included holiday hit Home Alone, A Nightmare Before Christmas, The Santa Clause, and Toy Story also entertained seasonal audiences. Plush purple Barneys, Beanie Babies, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Tickle Me Elmos, and Furbys were among the decade's top Christmas gifts. It was the end of an era with Bob Hope's last USO Christmas tour during Operation Desert storm, but his warmth and humor remain a gift to treasure."
