Pippi's Christmas

1969 · 27 min

A gentle, cosy little Christmas tale with a soft ache of loneliness that warms into cheer.

Overview: Pippi prepares for Christmas. She bakes a huge number of gingerbread biscuits. In the big tree outside her house she has hung lots of Christmas presents. At Christmas Eve she sits at her window, looking out in the darkness at all the presents hanging in the tree. She feels lonely and thinks with sadness about having no one to give the presents to.
