    Bottom left is The Year Without a Santa Claus. It’s a fun one where Mrs. Claus decides to take care of Christmas when Santa gets sick. It might be my favorite of the stop-motion Christmas movies.

    Top right is Santa Claus is Covington Town. The narrator is a postman who tells the origin story of Santa. It’s also a great short Christmas movie.

    The same narrator is in an Easter movie as well with an evil queen made in the image of the child-hating queen in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang. In the Easter movie, they reference the Bible some though oddly enough not as much about the death and resurrection and includes a hobo character named Hallelujah.

    Edit: forgot to say that bottom right is Emmet Otter’s Jug Band. The movie was made by Jim Henson and all the characters are Muppets. I haven’t seen it, but i think it’s different Muppets than appear in The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock.
