Impressions:
This is one of those fond childhood memories of mine that was quite enjoyable to revisit as an adult. There's a lot of imagination put into this with some good humor and (for some people) unconventional takes on classic Christmas music. Besides the claymation mentioned in the title, some other animation styles are used as well, as in the soul music rendering of "Joy to the World". It's a nice little experience for the whole family and I highly recommend it. The only downside of getting it on DVD is that you don't have the vintage commercials to go with it.
