'Twas the Night Before Christmas
Release: December 08, 1974

Based on the poem by Clement Moore, this is the charming animated musical tale of Scrooge-mannered Albert Mouse, who calls Christmas a "fraudulent myth" and thereby intercepts letters to Santa written by the children of Junctionville. He also causes trouble at the town hall's clock dedication ceremony, when the clock breaks down after he tries to figure out how it works. Will he be brought to his senses and "let up a little on the wonder why", or will Santa skip town? The answer is revealed in the songs "A Miracle Needs a Hand" and "Christmas Chimes are Calling". This holiday special is magical and enchanting! It's the perfect holiday show!

Father Mouse: "Winter came and things got tough for the Trundles, and if you think they had it bad... we'd have swapped our whiskers for a peanut shell or a round ripe apple seed, but meals don't fall from empty tables. Then finally it was Christmas Eve."
