  Title: Santa Claus in film
  Passage: Motion pictures featuring Santa Claus abound and apparently constitute their own subgenre of the Christmas film genre.  Early films of Santa revolve around similar simple plots of Santa's Christmas Eve visit to children.  In 1897, in a short film called "Santa Claus Filling Stockings", Santa Claus is simply filling stockings from his pack of toys.  Another film called "Santa Claus and the Children" was made in 1898.  A year later, a film directed by George Albert Smith in titled "Santa Claus" (or "The Visit from Santa Claus" in the United Kingdom) was created.  In this picture, Santa Claus enters the room from the fireplace and proceeds to trim the tree.  He then fills the stockings that were previously hung on the mantle by the children.  After walking backward and surveying his work, he suddenly darts at the fireplace and disappears up the chimney.  "Santa Claus' Visit" in 1900 featured a scene with two little children kneeling at the feet of their mother and saying their prayers.  The mother tucks the children snugly in bed and leaves the room.  Santa Claus suddenly appears on the roof, just outside the children's bedroom window, and proceeds to enter the chimney, taking with him his bag of presents and a little hand sled for one of the children.  He goes down the chimney and suddenly appears in the children's room through the fireplace.  He distributes the presents and mysteriously causes the appearance of a Christmas tree laden with gifts.  The scene closes with the children waking up and running to the fireplace just too late to catch him by the legs.  A 1909 film by D. W. Griffith titled "A Trap for Santa Claus" shows children setting a trap to capture Santa Claus as he descends the chimney, but instead capture their father who abandoned them and their mother but tries to burglarize the house after he discovers she inherited a fortune.  A twenty-nine-minute 1925 silent film production titled "Santa Claus", by explorer/documentarian Frank E. Kleinschmidt, filmed partly in northern Alaska, feature Santa in his workshop, visiting his Eskimo neighbors, and tending his reindeer.  A year later, another movie titled "Santa Claus" was produced with sound on De Forest Phonofilm.  Over the years, various actors have donned the red suit (aside from those discussed below), including Monty Woolley in "Life Begins at Eight-thirty" (1942), Alberto Rabagliati in "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't" (1966), Dan Aykroyd in "Trading Places" (1983), Jan Rubes in "One Magic Christmas" (1985), David Huddleston in "" (1985), Jonathan Taylor Thomas in "I'll Be Home for Christmas" (1998), and Ed Asner in "Elf" (2003).  Later films about Santa vary, but can be divided into the following themes.
  Title: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge
  Passage: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge is a musical parody of the Charles Dickens story "A Christmas Carol".

  Title: Christmas Oratorio
  Passage: The Christmas Oratorio (German: "Weihnachts-Oratorium" ), BWV 248 , is an oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach intended for performance in church during the Christmas season.  It was written for the Christmas season of 1734 and incorporates music from earlier compositions, including three secular cantatas written during 1733 and 1734 and a now lost church cantata, BWV 248a.  The date is confirmed in Bach's autograph manuscript.  The next performance was not until 17 December 1857 by the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin under Eduard Grell.  The "Christmas Oratorio" is a particularly sophisticated example of parody music.  The author of the text is unknown, although a likely collaborator was Christian Friedrich Henrici (Picander).
  Title: The Be All and End All
  Passage: The Be All and End All is a British film shot in Liverpool.  It stars Eugene Byrne, Josh Bolt, Connor Mcintyre, Liza Tarbuck and Neve McIntosh.  With comic and heartfelt results the story tells the story of a friendship between two boys Ziggy (Byrne) and Robbie (Bolt).

  Title: Christmas in Brobdingnag, Vol 1
  Passage: Christmas in Brobdingnag, Vol 1 is a short set of Christmas songs infused with the Bards' unique style.  The band kept to their standard autoharp/recorder lineup, creating a "Little Drummer Boy" without drums, and a "Carol of the Bells" without bells.  "Bog Down in Christmas" is a holiday parody of the Irish tune "Bog Down in the Valley," which the band performs on its "Songs of Ireland" album.  The album is then finished off with a classic instrumental version of "What Child is This? ," and an original comedy song "Christmas Time in Texas."
  Title: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
  Passage: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  is a children's story by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author.  It follows the Grinch, a grouchy, solitary creature who attempts to put an end to Christmas by stealing Christmas-themed items from the homes of the nearby town Whoville on Christmas Eve.  Despite his efforts, Whoville's inhabitants still celebrate the holiday, so the Grinch returns everything that he stole and is the guest of honor at the Whos' Christmas dinner.
  Title: Palnut
  Passage: A Palnut is a locking device for nuts made of stamped sheet metal, and is a registered trademark.  The palnut is screwed on the bolt on top of an ordinary nut, and has a series of protruding barbs that locks the nut in place when the nut is tightened.  The Palnut itself is reusable.  A Palnut should not be used as a substitute for a positive locking device such as a castellated nut or nuts with safety wire.

  Title: Birthday Boy (film)
  Passage: An on-screen .  title sets the action in Korea, 1951.  The film tells the story of a young boy, Manuk, who roams a seemingly deserted town to glean and recycle the debris of war.  We first meet him in the wreck of an aeroplane, looking for a particular piece of war refuse – a bolt – to turn into a toy soldier for his collection.  He sings a song about a bear.  Upon hearing the unmistakable low whistle of a train in the distance he runs to the track and places the bolt on the rail.  The train thunders past on its urgent mission to carry tanks to the front.  Manuk stands mesmerised, and grins widely.  Once the train has passed he retrieves the bolt which has become magnetised.  He makes his way through the town, pretending to be a soldier engaged in house-to-house fighting until his attention is captured by the drone of aeroplane engines.  Silently he watches them slowly cross the sky.  His war game begins again as he crouches behind rocks on a ridge overlooking an area with houses jumbled together.  A postman cycles down the road below Manuk’s hiding place.  Manuk imagines he is with his dad, pinned down by enemy fire.  “Dad, there are too many of them,” he cries as the sound of machine guns and artillery fire fill his head.  “But we are braver than them,” his father replies in the game.  Manuk picks up a rock as if it is a hand grenade, expertly pulls the pin with his teeth and hurls it at the enemy crying “Dad, get down!”  He waits, crouched, fingers in ears for the explosion which never comes.  Instead, we hear the postman cry in surprise and pain, before crashing his bicycle and shouting at his unseen tormentor.  Manuk slinks away and climbs the hill towards his home.  He takes a key from a special hiding spot, and approaches the verandah in front of his house.  He notices a parcel and hurries to open it.  He pulls out an old leather wallet containing a faded black and white photograph of a man crouching with a child dressed as Manuk is now, but much younger.  Manuk gently caresses the photograph with his thumb.  He then pulls out a set of dog tags, and an old boot.  He marches up and down in front of his house, wearing the boots as if he is a soldier on guard.  Later, inside the house, he plays with the toy soldiers and tanks he has made from bits and pieces of metal he has found and falls asleep on the floor.  His mother appears at the door, saying “Manuk, Mum is home”.
