Watching the old Santa Claus is coming to town, Rankin Bass special. We already watched the Twas the Night Before Christmas cartoon this afternoon.
The Burgermeister!
I always loved this Santa Claus special. Maybe it had something to do with the romance with a young Mrs. Claus.
And peril. Even in these Christmas specials there is peril. In a Jack Frost Rankin Bass, there was an evil man who captured Jack's love interest. Jack good lord was human for a little bit and was called Jack Snip and posed as a tailor. And then there was a love triangle where a handsome knight came in and stole his love interest away from him. And of course Jack Frost decided to turn back into himself.
I missed Nester the Long Earred Donkey.
It seemed like one year when my kids were little, we must have watched all the Rankin Bass christmas specials. There were quite a lot of them.
I'm leaving for my house soon, and am going to find my Its a Wonderful Life movie and watch Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It's one of my all time favorites. I love the old classics.
There's nothing like an old black and white movie. I grew up on them.
Still watching the Santa Claus special. Wow! Mrs. Claus was a singer! I forgot that song and all the psychedelic stuff in the background. There was definitely a 70's style that got forced into that special.
