Brief Synopsis:
Winners of the 1990 and 1992 Worst Parents Awards are accidently seperated from their 8 year old son, as he is at home, left to severely torture and mutilate 2 grown men.

The Holiday Special Edition adds back 14 deleted, extended and alternate scenes to this Christmas classic, with over 10 minutes of new footage.
Intention:
After seeing how much interesting footage and cut stuff was on the Blu-Ray, I figured I may as well look into editing the film and adding back all this footage. Especially the new Christmas carol by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci.

I rewatch Home Alone every year during the holiday season, and once I saw this edit, I knew that I would replace the theatrical copy that I normally watch. The addition of the deleted scenes, especially the Wet Bandits singing in the van, made this film that much more entertaining to watch. I also liked the inclusion of the alternate/extended scenes to add more footage to the film. Great job Bobson!
