Alternate versions for
A Garfield Christmas Special (1987) (TV) More at IMDb Pro »

• It is believed that a scene originally appeared in airings before 1991 in which Odie is unsuccessfully attempting to put together Garfield's gift in the barn. After it falls apart, he gets angry and kicks it away before crying. Garfield, who is watching, figures out what he is trying to do and distracts him by throwing an object across the barn. Odie gets suspicious and goes to investigate. Garfield rushes in, uses a hand drill to drill a hole in the board, inserts the rod and then ties the gardening tool to it. As he leaves, Odie arrives and is surprised to find the gift made up, he wraps it in the bag and leaves. Garfield is happy and puts the drill away as he does, he falls off the boxes he is standing on and the cartoon continues as normal. This entire scene appears in the comic book adaption but is not on any video or DVD version.
  
  
• In 1991, the TV special aired on CBS with new scenes, including Grandma playing the piano. This is why the copyright date on television airings, videos and the "Garfield: Holiday Celebrations" DVD read as "1991".
