When my youngest daughter was 9, she wanted to videotape Santa delivering gifts. She set her little camera up and the old man made sure she got her video. Kept the magic alive for 4 more years.

Dick Conkling's CyberSleigh II at the National Golf Club in Dec. 2009

Commercial I did for a small Christmas Market that I will be appearing at organized by college students.

This 1945 movie short (22 min) won the Academy Award in 1946 for best short subject film. It is a simple, but very touching retelling of the Nativity Story, set in the American Southwest. I found it as an added feature on my Christmas in Connecticut DVD. Did I mention it was very touching? (It brought tears to my eyes)

I just made a new sleigh this year, and the kids are crazy about it...

Eaton's 1955 Television Commercial with Santa Claus, Hokey, and Punkinhead

Made in 1898, G.A. Smith's 'Santa Claus' is a film of considerable technical ambition and accomplishment for its period. It uses pioneering visual effects in its depiction of a visit from St. Nicholas. A former magic lanternist and hypnotist, Smith was one of the first British film-makers to make extensive use of special effects to create fantastical scenes. It comes as little surprise that Smith corresponded with the French pioneer Georges Méliès at about this time, as the two men shared a common goal in terms of creating an authentic cinema of illusion.

For the past 12 Christmas Eves, we have answered the wishes of children staying at the Salvation Army Children's Shelter in Kansas City. Every year before we enter the Shelter, I thank everyone for their hard work and contributions to The Mission. This was Christmas Eve 2018.

Just before Christmas, Santa was asked to deliver a very special gift.

Vintage footage from 1927 of Santa Claus training Reindeer in preparation for his busiest day of the year!

Very well done video - a lot of research went into presenting this historically accurate narrative of the Christmas truce. I believe it was done by the BBC. Very educational. Also of note - the commanding officers, well back from the trenches - were against the truce. This included one Corporal Adolph Hitler.....

This was the first year I permed my arrow-straight beard and the second year I've bleached out my sandy brown hair to match my snowy white beard. See if you think the results are worth 3 hours in the salon.

Remember when people were kind to each other? Google put together a tribute to Mr. Rogers. Give it a view.

I love this video

Yee-ouch! That's going to leave a mark. Or two. Or Three. I loved this movie.

A look at the hidden power of film props and how filmmakers use the everyday (and not so everyday) objects in their scenes to enhance cinematic storytelling.

Santa showed up the the annual Christmas Bazaar and book sale at the Officers Club at Cape Henlopen State Park news link: http://www.wboc.com/story/41298000/christmas-came-early-to-lewes

this is probably the most powerful telling of the Christmas story I have ever heard

It's a Wonderful Red Green Christmas This show was so ridiculous - the characters were all so unique and absurd - this was the first Christmas show of the series - including how to make a sleigh out of a K-car, how Santa is an average normal guy, what Harold hates more than fruitcake, and Edgar Montrose demonstrates his Holiday Howitzer Special to decorate a tree - if that doesn't scream Merry Christmas, what does??

A Visit to Santa - Santa Claus at a parade - in a chimney float! Visit with Santa in a department-store Christmas display in Pittsburgh. Toy train set on display, other toys, doll house.
