Being a Christmas grinch isn\u2019t just reserved for movies \u2014 and some of your favorite TV shows have even had characters notorious for their dislike of all things<\/a> Santa.<\/p>\n

The Big Bang Theory<\/em><\/a> introduced that through Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons<\/strong>), who had an experience that made him distrust the holiday season.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I told you, \u2018My Pop-Pop,\u2019 because that was the year my grandfather died,\u201d Cooper revealed on the hit CBS show while playing a Dungeon & Dragons<\/em> game with a Santa character. \u201cI missed him, and I wanted him back. Instead, I got Lincoln Logs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Viewers got more glimpses<\/a> at Cooper\u2019s origin story in the Young Sheldon<\/em> prequel. The franchise has since expanded into Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em> and the yet-to-be-released spinoff<\/a> in the works at Max.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFor those TV fans who want some new Christmas content, Happy\u2019s Place, Elsbeth and Family Guy are just some of the shows delivering gifts this year. Happy\u2019s Place, which airs on NBC, made their Christmas episode extra special by having it also serve as a reunion for stars Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman and their Reba [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On Seinfeld<\/em><\/a>, George (Jason Alexander<\/strong>) went out of his way to keep Festivus a secret from Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld<\/strong>), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/strong>) and Kramer (Michael Richards<\/strong>). The idea actually came from<\/a> one of the show\u2019s writers and went on to become a fan-favorite episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the thing with Seinfeld<\/em> stories, the real ones are always the best ones. There\u2019s a nuance to reality sometimes that is just perfect,\u201d executive producer Jeff Schaffer<\/strong> told Uproxx<\/em> in 2017. \u201cWe could have sat in a room for a billion years and we never would have made up Festivus. It\u2019s crazy and hilarious and just so funny and so disturbing. It\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
