A class teacher asked their pupils what they would be doing for Christmas

[J. S. Bach]

Little boy says "Have the family round at dinner, open presents, then watch the Queens speech.

Little Girl says similar.

Jewish girl in the class says " We gather in dads toy shop amongst the empty shelves, sing a verse of O what a friend we have in Jesus, then go and have 2 weeks in Marbella.

The Man Who Saved Christmas

During the First World War, A. C. Gilbert, a successful toymaker, is requested by the government to re-tool his factory to help produce goods for the war effort. After speaking with his father and his son , Gilbert initially agrees to this, but comes to regret his decision.

Things get the better of Gilbert as he learns that his brother Frank has been declared missing in action in the war. This and other factors cause Gilbert to confront the government over plans to encourage people not to celebrate Christmas in order to save resources for the war effort. Gilbert successfully lobbies the government to allow him (and other toy manufacturers) to resume the production of toys, in particular the building toy known as an Erector Set, for Christmas, thus earning Gilbert the name "The man who saved Christmas."
