churches to be "decked with holm, ivy, bays, and whatsoever the
season of the year afforded to be green".

The basic plot of a child who boarded
a magical train bound for the North Pole, me
Santa Claus, and learned a lesson about
belief, was not nearly enough material to fill
feature length movie.
When the movie eventually arrived at its destination (some
