The Muppet Family Christmas - Gonfalon

 


The rarest of flags these days is the Gonfalon.  One just happens to appear in the Muppet Family Christmas television special, from 1987.  The top part is sky blue and there is a wavy pattern underneath. 

Gonfalon's are large flags.  The neat thing about these types of flag is that they are presented properly and don't sag.  The face is of the flag is set up on a cross bar so that the image can be properly admired.  

It was during the special the Sesame Street, the Muppets, and Fraggle Rock all collided into each other.  It was made during Jim Henson's peak and the writing and jokes are not just for children, as they hit for adults as well.  

This is another long, lost American Christmas classic, that hits a home run and should be at the top of every Christmas list replay to get the holly jolly sprit a flowing.
