Gift Wrapped (1952)
"You didn't count on Pocahontas, did you, Geronimo?"

Warning: Spoilers
"Gift Wrapped" is an excellent Tweety/Sylvester/Granny cartoon for the Christmas season. If only Sylvester had behaved himself, he would have had a joyous, peaceful Christmas. Fortunately, in the end, Granny sees to it that there will indeed be peace in her household.

Highlights: Sylvester's toy crane accidentally lifts up Granny instead of Tweety's birdcage. Granny ends the short by playing the organ and singing Christmas carols with Tweety (although Granny cannot sing very well); Sylvester and the bulldog try to sing along, too, but Granny has sealed their mouths shut with Christmas tree stamps. The bulldog hides himself inside a large gift box and mightily chomps Sylvester when he opens the lid! Sylvester poses as Geronimo (with hilarious stereotypical musical accompaniment) and Tweety poses as Hopalong Cassidy; Sylvester pulls the cork out of Tweety's pistol and gets blasted!

For a great Christmas comedy short, I highly recommend "Gift Wrapped." For all his trickery, Sylvester just can't seem to outwit Granny, and it's funny to see all of Sylvester's schemes backfire on him.
