This starts out as just another pro-Christmas propaganda short with old Santa Claus telling some sneaky ass little obnoxious 40's kids the story of Christmas then after a few minutes of that this crazy old(presumably drunken) fuck starts babbling about how monkeys celebrate the holiday just like us people do. To prove this point we are treated to some stock footage of little nutty monkeys goofing around eating pretzels and bananas and whatnots. Then the holiday portion of our narrative takes us to a monkey Christmas where one little gentleman is dressed as Monkey Claus and the other fellows jump around a tree and play with some toys. It all ends with more pseudo-religious talk from this fat weirdo. Judging solely from this film the 40's musta been a very strange time to be alive and have half a brain. Worth a look if, like me, you're a fan of oddball simian cinema.
