''The Town Santa Forgot'' is an Emmy-nominated [[Christmas Special]] that started off as a poem written by Charmaine Severson, titled ''Jeremy Creek''. The [[Animated Adaptation]] was produced by [[Hanna -Barbera]] and originally aired December 3, 1993, on [[NBC]]. Narrated by [[Dick Van Dyke]], it has since been made available on VHS and been shown annually in [[Cartoon Network]] (before its [[Network Decay]]) and [[Boomerang]]'s Christmas marathons.
 
The main character (and titular character of the original poem) is a [[Spoiled Brat]] by the name of Jeremy Creek, who always wants every toy he sees and is prone to throwing tantrums if he doesn't get it. Eventually, his parents get sick of it and tell him they're not buying him any more toys. Jeremy then writes a mile-length letter to [[Santa Claus]], in which he lists every toy he can think of, and mails it in the middle of June. When Christmas Eve arrives, he goes up on his family's roof to watch for Santa, but to his dismay, the big guy passes him by without delivering anything.
