The performance is by the Drifters, with the great Clyde McPhatter singing lead, and the cartoon is by Joshua Held...
Every year, I watch this, over and over. It always makes me feel good.
I'm not really feelin' the emotion this year. I don't have a TV, so I can't watch "It's a Wonderful Life" (which would either make me want to look for a bridge over an icy river or push my fist through the TV screen I don't have) or any of those "classic" holiday movies (Bing Crosby was not a member of my damn family, and I have never lugged a tree home through the snow). But seeing this warms me, every time.
There are certain people I wish I could share the watching experience with in person, particularly...no, let's not go there. This is second-best, anyway.
I hope you enjoy it.

Awww, thanks. Saw this for the first time last year (or maybe the year before)and love it!
Deb -- Glad you enjoyed it! I've always particularly enjoyed the reindeer singing backup....
my dad sent me one of those things per email yesterday. Yes, quite fun to watch!
Even without a TV, you can always rent a dvd and watch it on your computer. On second thought, your monitor may not be in good shape afterwards... ooops
I hope to see you sometime next month! Remember, I'm flying over on January 1 until the 15th!!
In spite of all your woes, I still hope you manage to find a little joy on Christmas. {hugs}
Just wishing you a nice Christmas, my friend. And thanks for the link to the Drifters. Take care,

Lol, Santa with a cigar.
Merry Christmas Mr. Scribbler!
Glad to see you in high spirits!
Thanks so much for posting this. I watch it every year and every year I lose it. It makes me feel good too, MrS. Merry Christmas!
I have never seen It's A Wonderful Life all the way through. My favorite is "White Christmas"
