Casper's First Christmas (1979)


Made for TV, airing December 18th in the US.
The story: Casper is worried.
He lives with his friend Hairy Scarey and he wonders if Santa will find them even though their house is an old abandoned one, without any decorations, that is due to be torn down.
After being awakened by Hairy, Casper tries to explain Christmas.
Hairy wants no part in it and insists the two should be house hunting instead of worrying about Christmas because their home will soon be gone.
At the same time, Yogi, Boo Boo, Huckleberry Hound, Quickdraw McGraw, Augie Doggie, Augie Daddy, and Snagglepuss are on their way to the lodge to celebrate Christmas.
When the storm they are traveling through becomes too much and they happen upon Hairy and Caspers abandoned house, they decide they can decorate the house and have their celebration there.
Casper finds the group decorating the house and hopes that they will invite himself and Hairy to their party.
And after introducing himself, they do.
But Hairy doesn't want them there and scares them all off.
All alone now, Hairy sees a letter Casper left for Santa and changes his mind altogether about Christmas.
