Advent Calendar - Day 4

 Every year I try to hunt down a couple of vintage Christmas cartoons on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. The thing about Christmas cartoons--especially the really old ones--is that they seem to work like a reset button for the holidays. Suddenly you remember how you used to feel about all the magic and mystery of this time of year. A time of year when anything seems possible. And if there was ever a year we might want to forget current circumstances and harken back to simpler, safer days, this is it.

Anyway, consider it a form of meditation. Pour yourself a cup of cocoa or coffee and just spend the next thirty minutes doing nothing more than watching this little adaptation of Raymond Brigg's Father Christmas.  It's not one of the golden oldies, but it's charming and wistful and wise.
