One-A-Day : Tom & Jerry - 'The Night Before Christmas'

School's out and Christmas is fast approaching; what better moment to get all nostalgic and share with you this favourite Tom & Jerry cartoon from 1941, produced by Fred Quimby and directed by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera. This Tom & Jerry cartoon was always shown at Christmas on BBC 1 when I was a child. I loved it for its Norman Rockwell view of Christmas, for its wonderfully evocative soundtrack - and for the clearest indication yet that Tom and Jerry were best friends after all. An inter-species bromance, no less! This is best watched while wearing Spiderman pyjamas and eating chocolate santas stolen from the Christmas tree.
