Night of the Meek is one of my favorite Christmas shows. Art Carney does a superb job playing the drunkin Santa that has a heart of gold. The show really makes you think and feel sorry for Henry and what he is going through. The best line of the show is the little kid: "Santa is loaded."

I love that episode too. We watch it every year.
Great episode! Too bad it was shot on tape (vs. film). There's only so much clean-up you can do on 60+ year old tape.
And it really shows Art Carney's range as a actor. When this came out, he was primarily known for his Honeymooners pure comedy stint.
