Not every Christmas episode of television has a happy ending, and some have it rougher than others. Neo-Westerns like Yellowstone love to meditate on the harshness of our world, but it wasn't the first show in the genre to ever mess around with such themes. Even Little House on the Prairie, a show known for its relatively upbeat attitude and moralistic view of the world, wasn't immune to diving deep into the harder topics of life, reminding us that we live in a complicated and broken world. Based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House's third season aired a Christmas episode unlike the rest of the show's holiday exploits. This one, titled "Blizzard," was based on a real-life storm that claimed the lives of many more than portrayed on TV.
