Advent Calendar Day 23 – Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Well, we're almost to Christmas and I couldn't let this Rankin/Bass classic go un-noted. Narrated by Fred Astaire as an all-knowing postman, this is my favorite of the stop-motion animation.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The postman answers all the kids' questions through the story including "how did he get his name", "why is his suit red?" and "why does he put the toys in stockings?" It is a sweet telling of how a foundling child becomes the most beloved gift-giver in the world. It is one I truly enjoy watching with my kids.
