On
Christmas Eve, a sad and lonely boy walks past a church and listens to the people inside sing "
Silent Night". He walks past a house, and watches the people celebrate Christmas with their family. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows, knocks him against the wall of a nearby tool shed, and covers him in snow. When he returns home, the boy opens his stocking, and discovers nothing inside. As he lies in a chair there crying, he hears the sound of sleigh bells ringing. He goes by the window, and sees that it's
Santa Claus! The boy joins Santa for some holiday fun in the shanty where he lives, since the boy has been good all year. The joy in Santa's shanty includes singing toys, a jazz band, and a singing doll (some albeit
blackface). Eventually, a
Christmas tree catches fire, and everybody does what they can to put it out. The boy manages to put out the fire by connecting a hose to
bagpipes, squirting the tree, and putting out the fire. Everybody cheers as the cartoon ends. ==In popular culture==
