My channel is not monetized nor do I own this content. I found some old Christmas cartoons still sealed in their original plastic. These tapes are being played for the first time ever.

Monty Moonlight said this about the tape on the Amazon review:

As for the quality of the short films included on this video, well, don't expect much, especially considering the EP speed on which the tape was recorded. Still, it plays reasonably well for me until I get near the end. The shorts range from well-loved Fleischer Studios classics like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," to totally bizarre stuff like "Santa in Animal Land." There's some boring stuff here and there, but most of the films have such a strange and downright eerie quality to them that you can find yourself quite captivated. Then, there are some real treats here and there, like "Howdy Doody's Christmas." One shouldn't pick up "Christmas Classics" INSTEAD of something more popular, such as the Rankin/Bass or Chuck Jones Holiday Specials, or the many feature Christmas films that are out there, because you WILL be disappointed in comparison. However, if you've already got all that stuff, or you've been searching for a copy of Fleischer's Rudolph or "Christmas Comes But Once a Year," or if you are just looking for something different that you can pop in and wrap gifts to, this is definitely worth getting. It's great for the nostalgic at heart, highly relaxing as something to fall asleep to on those nights leading up to Christmas, and might also be effective to entertain kiddies during the holidays, though that probably depends on the kiddies. At any rate, it definitely serves as a reminder of those simpler days when a visit from Santa Claus was all we could think about at Christmas!
