Song of the Family Longfellow (Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Song of the Family Longfellow
A Cancilla./Lawson Film
A Vaudeville Pictures production
Dark times have befallen America's Fireside Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He has been sequestered in his chambers for days, overcome by despair and unable to face his craft or his family. Will the holiday pass uncelebrated, his family without their father?
In the New Year and Hereafter
May kindness move malice to cease
And Love's fires light hearths
and hearts of all kind
Until all raise the chalice of peace!

As always, the overall production values astound me, especially the shots that help sell the believability of the puppetry (Monster and Edith walking down the hall, for example); it really disheartens me that it's videos like _this_ that always go unnoticed on UA-cam, because this deserves as many views as it can get! What surprises me even more is that Allegra actually behaved herself! Well, on camera I suppose - I'm sure she still got herself into a lot trouble _off_ camera though!
Another gem! I'll be watching this over and over again through Christmas!

Thank you @JosephScarbrough for your thoughtful and affirming words. It makes the work worthwhile.
As far as Allegra's behaviour is concerned, she did take her percussionist responsibilities of keeping-time and the bells solo quite seriously while the cameras were rolling , of course the promise of a cake for each successful take, just might have facilitated this. Off camera........you said it brother!
