What is this Christmas movie I'm thinking of???

I used to have a VHS copy of a very old animated christmas movie, it has a man with a beard stumbling across an orphanage, it ends up that all their christmas toys break and he helps them make new ones.... they sing "christmas comes but once a year"... there was also a punch and judy skit on the tape.... my tape broke a couple years ago and i have trying to find it either on tape again or dvd or anyting.... any help would be most appreciated.....

Is this what you are talking about?



It isn't exactly a feature-length movie, but it does match the description you gave.

Just to use this same thread...

There was a short cartoon I remember as a kid but I don't know the title. I want to say it was Christmas related, but don't know for sure. All I remember is that there was a person in a castle, a dancing tin-man represented rain or hail on the roof and a woman with a long flowing white coat represented snow. I want to say the short was from either the early 70s or 60s (might have been older than that even.)

Any ideas?

After searching like crazy, I finally found out what this is. The Selfish Giant.

This cartoon is in Pee Wee's Christmas Special, I believe.
