Tristan Welch
Tristan (Latin/ Brythonic: ''Drustanus''; ; ), also known as Tristran or Tristram and similar names, is the folk hero of the legend of Tristan and Iseult. While escorting the Irish princess Iseult to wed Tristan's uncle, King Mark of Cornwall, Tristan and Iseult accidentally drink a love potion during the journey and fall in love, beginning an adulterous relationship that eventually leads to Tristan's banishment and death. The character's first recorded appearance is in the 12th-century poetic tellings initiated by Béroul and Thomas of Britain, which were eventually vastly expanded in the later tradition from the vast Prose ''Tristan''. In later versions of his story he is featured in Arthurian legend, including the seminal compilation ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', as a great Knight of the Round Table and friend of Lancelot. The historical roots of Tristan are unclear; his association with Cornwall may originate from the Tristan Stone, a 6th-century granite pillar in Cornw ...

Filmmakers have picked up on this wealth of material, with both adaptations of Christmas novels, in the forms of Christmas films, Santa Claus films, and Christmas television specials. It also includes animation, comics, and children's books, including '' A Charlie Brown Christmas'', '' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'', and ''Frosty the Snowman''. Films Many Christmas stories have been adapted to movies and TV specials, and have been broadcast and repeated many times on TV. Since the popularization of home video in the 1980s, their many editions are sold and re-sold every year during the holiday shopping season. Notable examples are the many versions of the ballet ''The Nutcracker'', the 1946 film '' It's a Wonderful Life'', and the similarly themed versions of Dickens' ''A Christmas Carol'', in which the elder ...

They were so successful that they expanded the operation by building the world's first toffee factory in 1898. It burned down in 1909, so Mackintosh bought an old carpet factory and converted it into a new facility. When John Mackintosh died, his son Harold Mackintosh, 1st Viscount Mackintosh of ...
