Classic Christmas Cartoons!

It's only a few more days to Christmas! and if you are not in the Holiday mood yet, hopefully you will be soon! As I finish up finals for the semester I am looking for things to lift my mood for Christmas. Christmas Music always works and of course the lights on the houses, Christmas Trees and your typical Christmas movies (The Best Christmas Movies by Category)! But one other thing that always puts me in the Christmas Spirit is some vintage classic Christmas cartoons! I grew up watching these not so main stream cartoons on VHS when I was younger. For years after getting rid of our last VCR I searched and searched for these cartoons. It wasn't until recently that i found them on YouTube! Now when ever i get the chance I watch one of the short Classic Christmas Cartoons and i feel like a child again! These cartoons mean so much to me I figure I would share it with the Hubpages community! I'm sure many of you have seen these as well but take a few minutes to get in the Christmas Mood!

Alias St Nick is a MGM cartoon released on November 16, 1935. This fun cartoon shows a family of mice in a tree getting ready for Christmas. As their mother reads them the classic story "The Night Before Christmas" all the mice anxiously wait for Santa's arrival, except for one cynical little mouse in white pajamas. As the mice wait, a stray cat is walking by outside in the cold snowy weather. He sees the family of micc through the window, but to him it means dinner. He ends up dressing up as Santa to get into the home of the mouse family. Once in he plans which mouse he wants by giving out toys to all of them. Eventually he is found out and the mice use the very toys he gave them to kick him out of their home. It's just a fun cartoon!

The classic cartoon The Pups' Christmas was released on December 12, 1936 by MGM. This cartoon follows two small puppies as they discover Christmas morning. Like any puppies, they get themselves into a little bit of trouble. As they explore the toys under the Christmas tree, the toys seem to come alive and terrorize the dogs. It's a cute little cartoon with some great laughs!

This is a great cartoon released on December 4, 1936. It is about orphans in an orphanage waking up on Christmas morning to discover that all their new toys from Santa are broken. As the children cry an old man (Professor Grampy) traveling by hears them and decides to help! He decides to not only fix the children's Christmas but plays Santa as well! Its a great message of giving and a fun cartoon to watch.
