A Christmas Past (2000)

Not really a movie but a compilation of short, Christmas related, silent films from 1901-1925. The earlier ones are the more fascinating as they basically consist of recorded real life events, like a wealthy families children’s Christmas play, and a 1906 sleigh ride and snowball fight expedition. The later films are mostly about Santa Claus (including a 25 minute piece shot in Alaska), or people in Santa outfits, including the brave Octavious, who the title cards repeatedly remind us, "Never Fails". For extreme nostalgia junkies only.
