This is a Heartwarming Miracle of Christmas

Aside from the style of filming this wonderful Twilight Zone gem, I don't understand anyone not loving it. There were several episodes of the Twilight Zone that were filmed in "live set" style to save money. The show was new and budgets were low. It's funny that Art Carney should be cast in this episode, as "The Honeymooners" had the same appearance on t.v. Art Carney portrays an alcoholic department store Santa who is downtrodden and hopeless except during Christmas. He has one wish. He wants to be Santa. That's all. He wants to give without receiving, without any reward other than the joy that giving brings. In true Rod Serling fashion, Christmas is a time of magic and so is Night of the Meek.
