Summary

Pathe synopsis: Christmas, for some people, is an all-the-year-round affair. Making Christmas cards is no last-minute process and choosing from four thousand paintings, all entered by children for a Christmas card competition, is a hard job for the judges. The best of the cards will go on sale and the proceeds given to charity by the Variety Club of Great Britain. And the winners meet the stars and take their prizes at a special get-together at Elstree Studios.
