    cute and wholesome

    It is Christmas morning and the kids sneak downstairs. They are followed closely by their two puppies. The kids begin opening their gifts. The pups are confronted by a stuffed dog toy. They continue to be confronted by all the different new toys.

    It is a MGM Happy Harmonies cartoon. The kids look weird with their two pink circle cheeks. It looks like bad makeup. I guess that is the style of animation back in the day. The puppies are only cuteness. It's all very wholesome and very Christmas. It's a Harman-Ising cartoon. The big names in this one are Rudolf Ising, William Hanna, and James Tyer.
