The b&w kinescope of this episode that's available on DVD omits an act that was shown just before this clip - Rene & His Puppets performing to music from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite". Luckily, a puppet aficionado has posted it - IN COLOR! Search for QIQVoE0v7F4

The Crosby family are more decent than the godawful Kardashian family. Memorable but true.

5:59- 6:01 could Bing look any distant from his family in that segment? Looks like he couldn't wait to get it over with.

I wish that Mr.Bing Crosby would introduce the Christmas songs in plain,simple english and stop using,so many fancy types of pompous venacular.

I'm so thankful I can watch these again. Thank you for sharing them.

what a better world it was

[Ulysses61]

The four sons from his first marriage to Dixie were so much better looking. Sadly, all of his children from his second marriage to Kathryn looked like her.

@Ulysses61 Well, his three youngest all inherited his ears (not that that's really a great thing). His daughter inherited his blue eyes too, instead of Kathryn's brown.

they are all so adorable.

the world needs talent like him again... but if we were to stumble across it everyone would think it unusual to have someone sing in such a old way so maybe it's better left in the past to be admired and longed after again.
