[The Night Before Christmas] (1956) 

My grandfather had this on 8mm. Silent with subtitles. Brings me back to my early childhood!

I have searched for this movie for years! On the last day of school before Christmas we would gather in the school auditorium and watch this movie, one about a shoemaker and elves and one about a Christmas tree. What wonderful memories when Christmas was so magical! Thank you for sharing!

I loved watching this even though I'm 63 I'm like a little kid when it comes to Christmas

Our Dad got the reel to reel out and played this for my sister and I each Christmas every when we were little., no sound, he read the subtitles to us. It was tradition!

77 years never seen this...love it!!

My father bought a 16mm projector when he returned from WW2 and this was one of the films I grew up with. We loved this film. It brings back so many memories.

oh my goodness I love this so much

This is the first time I have ever seen this classic, delightful 1946/1956? Castle film Christmas movie Twas the Night Before Christmas! I was born in the late fall of 1978 in central Kentucky and grew up in northern Kentucky! This excellent live action, perfect narration, with the beautiful animation, beautiful costumes, furniture, props, shoes, sets and special effects is fun to watch! Thank you very much for posting and sharing this wonderful film! Merry Christmas 2023! Happy Holidays 2023! Peace on Earth! God Bless Us All! All Kinds of Blessings, Compassion, Empathy, Friendships, Forgiveness, Generosity, Good Cheer, Good Health, Goodwill, Happiness, Hope, Joy, Kindness, Laughter, Love, Singing and Peace for Us All! Happy New Year 2024!

They both settled down for a long winter's night. 🎅🏽❄⛄

My childhood. Thank you for upload. Merry Christmas

What fond memories I have of this Christmas Movie; it was played each Christmas at our school at the time I still believed in Santa coming to our homes at Christmas.

Love it

Love looking back to the good old days

Awesome!

Indeed...have a mince pie.....

My birth year. So nice!

This was not from 1956, this was from 1946 according to the copyright on the end title. I have the same version on 8mm which was silent with text that are superimposed instead of inter titles with Castle Films titles and the Super 8 sound version with no Castle Films opening and closing.

"Not a creature was stirring, not even a stuffed mouse!" "Marry Christmas 2023! It's New Years Day right now, too. The 12 days of Christmas lives on! Thanksgiving is preparation time for Christmas Day, and Christmas Day is about the birth of our savior, and also a beginning in looking forwards to a brand New Year, too! Don't make it end too soon or you'll miss lots of blessings still left.

Why use brackets in the title? It isn't an additional statement, but the actual title. Great vintage/classic 'short'! Love this!

G'wad....Bless...You.....Santa....^/^....
