      Rusty and Buttons go on quite a Christmas adventure!
      This cute little cartoon is another one of my Christmas holiday season favorites!! I remember watching it while I taped in--way back when! I love the old cartoons--especially the Christmas shows! I can STILL after all these years remember the theme song to the show "The Christmas Tree Train"... I love that little song!! and the joking around back and forth between Rusty and Buttons---great one liners, too! Every year when I watch my old VHS tapes of holiday cartoons I hope and pray that the VCR isn't going to finally swallow and eat the tapes! I have got to remember to see of any of my favorites are out on DVD yet! I saw a boxed set in one store at Christmas time--it has 4 dvds with 27 different Christmas cartoons--but only a few of them I like! maybe in the future...I should ask Santa~
