I always liked the 1988 version better. To my memory, it sounds more like the Sierra games I knew growing up. Sadly the archive.org emulation doesn't seem to include sound, but there are a few youtube videos of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tleEygmmikI

Yes, agreed. If you can find a copy of it, it works perfectly in ScummVM. I will certainly having it running on a loop on Christmas Day.

https://archive.org/details/sierra-christmas-card-1988 - It's on archive.org as well. When I tried it the music didn't work though.

I downloaded the card and ran it in my own copy of Dosbox. The music started working when I cut down the speed to about 1500 cycles/ms, down from the 3000 that Dosbox defaults to.
