Description
Content Description from Skate Guard (https://skateguard1.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-true-gift-of-christmas-folklore-and.html) :
An otherworldly adventure from start to finish, Toller Cranston's 1985 CBC special "The True Gift Of Christmas" is at turns whimsical, dark and inspiring but never managed to be anything less than spellbinding. Full of the same imaginative dream like archetypes and choreographic concepts that made Strawberry Ice such a roaring success, "The True Gift Of Christmas" is compelling not only in its writing and performance but also in the folklore represented in the underlying story.
Ephemera: none available.
