The Christmas Card

General
So it is Christmas Eve...
What kind of short-film could be the mostly emblematic of this period of the year? Probably a cartoon. Yet I tried to find something not to cute/mushy and not to trash/hardcore. And, the most important, something original. It was more than a month that I was trying to find something and was about to give up when the miracle occurred, this morning at 4:00am (before going to bed). A masterpiece of 165 seconds (2:45). It is extremely short but it is close to perfection: The Christmas Card was done in 1968 (43 years ago) by a 28 years old American artist who would later become one of the greater movie maker of the end of the century. And remember, this short-movie was done in 1968, which means one year before the 5th of October 1969, when with five of his friends, they affected the History of Humanity with their first show on the BBC.
So here is the movie (less than 3 minutes).
I hope you will enjoy the show... and Merry Christmas!

Thank you! It seems that Terry Gilliam has a very strange vision of Christmas...
