Have a Merry Nostalgic Christmas

I'm nostalgic for classic Christmas cartoons, the ones I grew up watching, but sadly have vague memories of the names. For years I've been describing this particular one near and dear to my heart as the cat and mouse Christmas cartoon where the cat dressed up as Santa to surprise the mice family. You can imagine my dilemma. So I finally decided to take it to the internet. Not having a name makes it a challenge-- one that I thought was probably pointless but just had to try. I started typing in key words like: cat, mouse, Christmas. And when that didn't work, I knew I had to be more specific. My combos include:

cat, mouse, Christmas, cartoon
cat, mouse, old cartoon, Christmas
classic cartoon, cat, mouse, Christmas
cat dressed up as Santa, Christmas, classic cartoon

And the list goes on. I can't remember how many different combination until this one:

cartoon cat dressed up as santa, "night before christmas", cat, mouse

It lead me to here-- A series of Christmas shorts and ultimately the second short story-- Alias St. Nick.

And.. with the power of YouTube, this! So on this special 25th day of December, a gift from my childhood to you. May you all have a wonderful, walk down memory lane, Christmas like mine!
