Relax in the Wake of the Christmas Holiday With This Classic Addams Family Short

Now we’ve celebrated
the holiday. But how do the kookiest, gothiest family celebrate? Thanks to MGM,
we can take a look.

In advance of
Christmas, MGM shared a treat: a classic Addams
Family
short film, exploring how the household full of misfits enjoy the
holidays. Created in 1965, “Christmas With the Addams Family,”
directed by Sidney Lanfield and starring Carolyn Jones, John Astin, and Jackie
Coogan, is a slice of the classic stuff: pure goth sitcom joy. It plays the
reliable Addams gag of being weird but somehow way more wholesome than any
normal family would be.

And of course, even
they adore Santa Claus. I love it. What a perfect family.
