A little late for Christmas, but why not spread some of that festive cheer anyways? Goodness knows we need some! This oddly titled Edison short from 1915 is not only a fun time capsule into Christmas past, but to Thomas Edison’s studio just a few years before their doors closed for good in 1918. Huge thanks to Christopher Snowden for loaning me his print to scan and score! Enjoy!
