'Kay, I've been looking for the title of this movie for a long time. I'm pretty sure it's from the 80s, but it may also be from the 70s. I watched this when I was very young, so the details are sketchy. And bear in mind that it may not even be American, although the actors speak English:

It has a very Christmas theme to it. The song "Silent Night" (or something close to it) plays often in the background. The movie's basically about a little girl with long blonde hair, and she's wearing a long nightgown throughout the entire movie (picture the little girl they had playing in the Poltergeist movies with those pajamas she's usually wearing).

Anyway, apparently her closet is a portal to another world that's inhabited by these friendly "monsters". Their world is covered in snow and has a bunch of decorated and undecorated Christmas trees. The girl goes into this world to help the monsters fight some bad guy. She's especially attached to one monster in particular, has a special relationship with it.

This is what I remember. Anyone know what it is?

Hey, finally someone who knows what I'm talking about! Yeah, I remember that ending, too, with the little girl looking out the window! *gets all excited*

Thanks for giving me a clue. At least now I know I'm not alone. :D
