Maybe its because I didn't grow up with it and do not have nostalgia goggles through which to watch this, but... The plot was razor thin and not a lot happened. Except for the vague promise that Christmas was coming, no through-thread propelled the story along.
A lot of moments were included (the decoder ring and the various Wizard of Oz references, for example) that seemed to come from nowhere and have no real conclusion or connection to anything else. Nobody seemed to learn anything and not a lot was achieved. Though it did show adults apathy toward Christmas well.
