For a different take on the Christmas story, here it is as told by young Dublin students in 1960, and animated by Brown Bag Films as part of a series of short films called "Give Up Yer Aul Sins." The first video below is the birth of Jesus, and the second is the annunciation and the birth of John the Baptist. The first video in the series, itself called "Give Up Yer Aul Sins," on the life and death of John the Baptist , was nominated for a best animated short film Oscar in 2001. Brown Bag was also behind Grannie O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty, nominated for the same award this past year.
Thanks to mysterywriter for introducing me to these videos. Have a wonderful Christmas all!
