(For Thursday) A Flintstone Christmas - 1977

Fred and Barney are up to their usual antics in this movie by Hanna-Barbera. This movie goes along with the plot that something has happened to Santa and it's up to Fred and Barney to save the day.

Ironically, Fred was asked by Mr. Slate to BE Santa in the upcoming Woman's Auxiliary Christmas Party. He was selected because of his great acting skills (really it was because of his resemblance to the man in the red suit). His job was to show up and hand out gifts to all the little children - then Wilma and Betty had plans to assign him a clean up job after the celebrating was over.

Well, with Barney as his trusty elf, Fred sets out to do this - but somehow they manage to run into an injured Santa - who needs urgent help to make sure that the presents are distributed around the world while he rests his sprained ankle.

So Barney and Fred head to the North Pole where they get a crash course in gift delivery. They finish the job just in time to remember that they're late for the Ladies Auxiliary party! Off they rush - trying desperately to fulfill the requests made by their boss and save their jobs...and make a bunch of waiting children very happy.
