Tom And Jerry: The Night Before Christmas

For this last Friday before Christmas, I found a very nice classic Tom & Jerry (yes, the cat and mouse this time) holiday cartoon.  In this animated short from 1941, Jerry is definitely not the proverbial non-stirring mouse.  Tom actually wins, successfully kicking Jerry out of the house, only to feel the Christmas spirit, and rescue the mouse from freezing in the snow.  From the Internet Archive, here is The Night Before Christmas.
