No Place Like Movies at Home: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

One of the things that is, unfortunately, falling out of popularity over the last few years is the TV channels that play Christmas movies are not showing these rounds of movies anymore. I am not entirely sure if they are working them out of the system because they are "out of date" or "not PC". However, the Claymation Christmas movies that used to be on every other hour are not on anymore. It's unfortunate because they are some of the best animation, and Christmas, movies to ever grace the screen. We are going to kick it off with Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

The movie is about the origins of Santa and how he started making toys and giving them to children. It's go great music and a great cast. The narrations is done by the wonderful Fred Astaire. I will also say they did an animation of his dancing at the start of the movie and it was great. They always wonderful added bonus that Mickey Rooney is the voice of Santa. All of these movies are easy and fun to watch and I love re-watching them every year. 

Most of these movies don't have much description they are really straight forward. They are one of the best parts of the holiday season and I am sad that they are working their way out of mainstream tv.
