A Silent Christmas

The back of our "A Silent Christmas" VHS says,
Critics' Choice Video is proud to present this exclusive holiday video collection from the Killiam Library. These rare, restored silent Christmas shorts bring you the holidays as they were during the dawn of motion pictures.
This video includes The Night Before Christmas (1905), A Christmas Carol (1910) and Santa Claus (1925) filmed on location at the "North Pole". It is a total of 100 minutes of black and white silent shorts. I especially love the "Santa Claus" film, which shows Santa and reindeer riding to remote settlements in the northern Alaskan snow.

This version is no longer available, but Christmas Past is the new DVD incarnation, containing all the same material.
