I present for your entertainment this #8mm #film reel of "#TheNightBeforeChristmas" from #CastleFilms from 1946 that I digitized nearly 2 decades ago. Their 16mm print included an audio narration and music soundtrack, but the 8mm versions were silent, but featured subtitles instead. So I re-scored this version with a custom soundtrack many have described as haunting , but adds an intriguing feel to this old film. I hope you enjoy. #MerryChristmas.

The C Word

In the 1960s, #Newspapers shared #TheNightBeforeChristmas #Parody by #Charles&Janice Jensen.

They wrote:

#StNick was the driver, the #Jolly Old #Elf
& he winked as he said, I'm a #Gardener myself.

I've brought #Wiltproof, #Rootone, & B9, too.
Father can try them & see what they do.

To eliminate #Weeding, I've brought 2-4-D,
& to #Battle the #Bugs, 5% DDT.
-
& I heard him exclaim through the engine's loud #Hum
#MerryChristmas to all & to all a #GreenThumb!

#Gardening #Organic #Garden

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap…

He sprang to his hearse,
to his team gave a stare,
And away they all flew
like a case of beer.

But I heard him exclaim,
ere he drove out of sight ---
"Have a Phantasmic Christmas for now, and we'll be back for the boy another night."
