Even as a child, I always disliked Christmas cartoons, except for "A Charlie Brown Christmas". This special was very personal for Charles Schulz, who was a religious man and though what had been done to it was terrible. I disliked all of these 60s and 70s Christmas specials because they had fuck-all to do with the holiday (holy day). I never understood what Santa Claus, giving presents, snow, elves, and all of that had to do with Jesus.
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) The Year Without Santa Claus (1974) 'Twas The Night Before Christmas (1974) Frosty the Snowman (1969) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (1970) The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
I'm kind of on the fence with "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966). It's heartwarming, but it still loses sight of the reason for Christmas.

Nicholas: The Boy Who Became Santa is very good (Patrick: Brave Shepherd of the Emerald Isle was better though not Christmas related).
