The Magic Christmas Tree (1964)

A wacky little Christmas movie.

Mark (Chris Kroesen) dares his two friends to go to an old house which he says is lived in by a witch. After his friends scarper, Mark encounters an old woman (Valerie Hobbs) and she gets him to help get her cat Lucifer out of the tree. 

Mark falls and hits his head and finds that the old woman really was a witch. She gives him a magic ring which will help him to grow a magic Christmas tree that can grant him three wishes...

Well there is more to thing than meets the eye but i think you can guess what that is. A strange little film which feels like it's largely improvised. The film isn't that brilliant but it is not without some charm, and a bit of fun.
