The great thing about Grampy cartoons is the way that he uses his imagination to help those around him and what better holiday than Christmas to show what Grampy is all about. When all the toys for the kids at an orphanage fall apart, Grampy whips up new toys from random items including wash board snow sleds. The sight of a dozen crying orphans, one whose teddy bear loses all it's insides, is genuinely sad. But in the end, the kids enjoy their rocking horses, walking chickens, and coffee cup train sets while sitting around the great umbrella Christmas tree. It doesn't have to be Christmas for this cartoon to be enjoyed, but it doesn't hurt either.
