The Christmas Dream
Directed by Georges Méliès
Produced by Star Film
A whimsical, tender silent fantasy that captures the magic and wonder of Christmas through the eyes of children and celestial intervention.
The entire story of Christmastide is here depicted. The scene opens in a large boudoir of an apparently wealthy man's home. His children, assisted by their governess, are about to retire. Before lying down they hang up their stockings on the edge of the bed. The picture changes and night appears. We see the housetops of the town and angels are flying about depositing packages in each of the chimneys. (Edison Catalog)
