This was originally telecast on December 22, 1960; Ernie apologizes at :41 to viewers on those stations that presented this via "delayed broadcast" (on 16mm "bicycled" kinescope film prints), becuase ABC had a VERY weak line-up of affiliates back then- most also carried other network's programs, and were unable to air the show nationally on Thursday nights at 10:30pm(et). "Christmas greetings" could be delayed as much as six weeks, depending on when the station got the program.
