Merry Christmas (1950) Short Film, Black and White. We begin with a visit to the North Pole and as the camera zooms in the icy window, we see a great looking Santa Claus and his elves in the workshop making toys. There we meet Santa and his three elves Peppy, Zippo and Click. Were these poor elves named after cigarette lighters? It's possible since everyone were chain-smokers in 1950. The elves work at making and playing with toys as Santa reads the letters he's received from children around the world. The antique toys are amazing and I want them all!

Cut to Christmas Eve, Santa says goodbye to his helpers and lugs his bag of toys to set out. The scene jump-cuts to a nuclear bomb prepared family -- daddy, mommy, teenage girl, little girl, little boy -- decorating their Christmas tree.

Dad sits at a piano and his elder daughter begins to sing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" then there's a jump-cut to what I assume is the Vienna Boys Choir singing the same song, then back to the nuclear family. Martha finishes the song and mom tells her it was lovely and they all head off to bed. Santa meanwhile is flying above the village in his sleigh. Fabulous special effects here with Santa's flight.

Cut to Lorna, a little girl who sneaks out of bed to replace her small christmas stocking with a huge one, then slips back to bed. Santa lands on the roof and pops down the chimney, empties out his bag, then pops back up the chimney. The young Lorna and her Brother hurry to collect their toys at dawn. It concludes with pleasant living christmas card imagery and good wishes. A great fire hazard style tree, the way it should be. Playing with the toys, train, doll and more. And Santa giving a final "Merry Christmas" in his sleigh.

Produced by educational short subject company Sterling Films for grade-schools and the home-projection market.

Very Nice,..this is when there was good morals, family togetherness, no divorce, and neighbors visited each other. And when on a man's handshake, it meant something. Hope these times will return.

A very nice film that probably seems alien to folks today. In the post-war 50's people were happier, kinder, less suspicious, more civil, more sociable. Less selfish, more giving. We knew our neighbors. We said HI to strangers! Morale was high, as were morals. Strong work ethic. Self-reliance. Hollywood & TV weren't cesspools. People were far less thin-skinned. Slower to be offended. No political correctness. Oh how I miss those days, which is why I'm at this site & many others just like it.

@area59429 AMEN to all you said!!

[girlstorm09]

weird how people say kids today are spoiled and want more more more and only stuff thats "cool" but even back then im sure kids were like that just like when the little girl switch her dinky stocking and put up a bigger one bc she wanted more treats or how the boy was like kids are gonna rave about my scooter!! So im sure kids been like they way they are for a long long time.

[girlstorm09]

lol at the girl wanting to sing christmas music with her family bc i dont know teens who are so family oriented now lol.

WE can change by doing something for someone..without expecting anything in return... enjoy your family...love hard, dont give up hope... then we can turn it around..before its too late...

[CIGARPIGSKIN6]

this is cool, you want to see creepy look up the old films shot at Santa's Village, see my creepy fairy tale theme park playlist

[area59429]

It was a different world then. People were happy. We didn't have all the trashy garbage being churned out by Hollywood and the media. They don't promote decent family morals anymore. I long for those days again.

[grofys]

@reeram i marvel at your insight.

[reeram]
