A few days ago IGN published its Rebel Base episode "How Christmas Nearly Ruined Star Wars". (Although dialogue refers to it as "How Christmas Nearly Destroyed Star Wars".)
It treats Life Day as Christmas. Nothing new there. I think that Star Wars Galaxies cemented that relationship, although it didn't invent the association.
The presenters state that they don't want to get sued by Disney, so they're not going to show any clips, but instead they show sped-up Paint renditions of stills from the Special. The Boba Fett screen is particularly good.
So it's twelve minutes of your life you might never get back. But if you've invested many times that watching the Special itself, then you could do worse.
