Bottom left is The Year Without a Santa Claus. It’s a fun one where Mrs. Claus decides to take care of Christmas when Santa gets sick. It might be my favorite of the stop-motion Christmas movies.

Top right is Santa Claus is Covington Town. The narrator is a postman who tells the origin story of Santa. It’s also a great short Christmas movie.

The same narrator is in an Easter movie as well with an evil queen made in the image of the child-hating queen in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang. In the Easter movie, they reference the Bible some though oddly enough not as much about the death and resurrection and includes a hobo character named Hallelujah.

Edit: forgot to say that bottom right is Emmet Otter’s Jug Band. The movie was made by Jim Henson and all the characters are Muppets. I haven’t seen it, but i think it’s different Muppets than appear in The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock.

It’s a joke about Mary becoming pregnant with Jesus. Although I’m not sure why Gabriel is the one doing it. At least one of the gospels says that the Holy Spirit “comes down upon” her to impregnate her and Gabriel was just the messenger who told Mary that she would carry a child.

At least one of the gospels says that the Holy Spirit “comes upon” Mary and then she is pregnant. Gabriel was just the messenger that she would carry a child.

The story is different depending on which gospel you read
