Long-Forgotten Holiday Cartoon Specials #1

Santa Gets Pissed Off Yet Again and Cancels Christmas for the Umpteenth Time
First Broadcast: December 3, 1975
In The Year without a Santa Claus, Santa refuses to deliver gifts when he feels unappreciated by the children of the world. In Twas the Night before Christmas, Santa refuses to deliver gifts when he feels slighted by a letter written by a mouse. This time Santa’s hair-triggered temperment is set off when he has to find about a dear friend’s engagement through another source, making him wonder why he even bothers trying to get close to people. Plus, he thinks he’s fat. Soon he’s scrapping all flight plans, setting his elfin employees adrift on ice floes and burning his entire factory down (with several anthropomorphic toys still inside). And once more a determined band of misfits and towheaded tots must go out of their way and beyond their means to butter up the big man and show Santa what the holidays are truly all about—regret and recrimination.
