Happy holidays from all of us here at The Numbers Game! (By which of course, I mean me.) This is the newsletter column that breaks down the numbers of our favorite show, back for one final time in 2014. This issue, we look back to when the Boys of Summer Vacation took one of the 104 days to deliver an old-timey Christmas special that was, in fact, actually really sweet.

Season 3's "A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas" hit the new airwaves on Friday, December 2, 2011. 4.224 million viewers cleared time off their holiday schedules to see it, making it the 8th most-watched regular episode in series history on the strength of a 2.9 household rating. The new episode checked in at No. 19 on the Cable Top 25, topping SpongeBob by 14 percent as the top animated broadcast on the chart. For the week, it finished 4th among Disney Channel programming behind the hugely successful Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!, its Sunday rerun, and the series premiere of Austin & Ally.

Phineas and Ferb ' s second Christmas special was a success throughout the age group charts. It posted the best showing among Kids 6-11, using a 8.8 rating to score the No. 4 spot behind the two movie airings and Austin & Ally, while "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!" claimed the No. 8 spot with a 6.9 age group rating. Among Kids 2-11, "Family Christmas" also took the No. 4 spot, posting a 6.3 rating in that age group. The new episode even checked in at No. 7 among Tweens 9-14 on the strength of a 5.9 rating. And finally, among Adults 18-49, the program scored a stronger-than-usual 0.7 demographic rating.

And we are only days away from the Tri-State Gazette's proud New Year's tradition. That's right; next issue, The Numbers Game looks back at the very best 2014 had to offer in the world of Phineas and Ferb in the sixth annual Year-In-Review-Inator! Until then, leave your comments down below, and stay safe out here this holiday season. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night...because the numbers never lie.
