Bing Crosby Christmas Specials thru the Years 1 of 4

[XNascarProductionsX]

these were the years!! they just don't make good family Christmas specials any more. The kind where the whole family sat down to watch.

Bing was the best at everything!

[apollozero]

I used to watch his specials and trim our family tree. great memories.

[lovefreak27]

didnt he beat his kids?.. or somethin of that nature?

[JFLD8]

@lovefreak27 these are the kids he was nicer to. He had issues with his four oldest sons (not shown here) from his first marriage.

wish I could find the Christmas special when I sang Would You Like to Swing On A Star with him. I played his daughter in a television series as well.

And I remember when people celebrated teh 12 days of Christmas.  Today, sadly, very few people get a real tree, it's always a chinese tree, pretend, fake. And they take their commercial tree down by the evening of Christmas.

[mrstheresa12303]

Cavalier, yes, as a child I remember we all sat around the TV for shows like Bing's, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Bob Hope, and I can't remember which others it's been so long. OF course the classic animated ones too, but the variety shows were always something different. Fortunately, if you have PBS, you can catch Lawrence Welk Xmas shows. The good old days

@mrstheresa12303 Good old days is right. An understatement!

[cavalierfan2008]

i wish they showed shows like this for christmas every year... with someone that can sing with this style...

[ThePattycake1313]

Bing was the best at do you hear what I hear

[alastairr2008]

[jackwilshiresfakeid]

[cmcb09]

The If I Could Talk To The Animals segment with Bing, Kathryn and the children is simply adorable.

FIVE STARS!!!

I remember seeing these when I was as old as Mary Frances Crosby...

thank you for such a sweet & sentimental Yuletide Journey!

God's loving blessings to you and yours!

[dotsymae]

I got an Andy Williams dvd that brought back a lot of memories. Mom on the sofa...me under the tree playing with the manger pieces...bring back those Christmas specials and variety shows!

[alastairr2008]

Anyone got anymore christmas special clips ?

[daisygirl94444]

i completely agree!

[Guardian223]

Christmas is no longer the same without Crosby or Bob Hope.

[1533ramsay]

My best Christmas memories are his family Christmas specials. I really Miss that time of my life.

[Guardian223]

Yes,exactly how I feel. I remember as a kid getting the hot cocoa ready and settling in a nice easy chair in front of the TV. The best and beloved entertainers are gone. I wish they would release the entire specials and not just clips.
