Staple of Philadelphia TV in 50s & 60s. Classic version of Night Before Christmas from Bell Telephone using Beaton Marionettes. Some of live beginning cut for time. See my other posting of the the second half of this, Nativity story (in two parts due to time)

A DVD is available from good source material:

  • I have looked for this for years. Rarely shown on TV anymore. It brings back fond memories of The Sisters playing this movie along with the marioneete version of The Nativity, at catechism every year. We were given a box of hard candy along with the treat of watching the two short vignettes. GREAT MEMORIES!! Thank you so much 925apte!!

  • Will try and post the Nativity soon

  • Just posted the Nativity - in 2 parts

see all

  • What a sweet and fun memory from the past!

  • This is usually played on WHYY in Philly several times during the holiday season. Usually during a fund drive. For a $60 contribution, you get a dvd of this program. The TV listings show it being broadcast again on WHYY at 7:30 PM EST on 12/24/2010.

  • What a great video :D...ahh memories

  • Good memories!

  • Awesome, my mom and I were just reminiscing about this old Ma Bell Christmas classic!!

  • We're showing our age, but I remember this too. We looked forward every year to watch this and were amazed at how "high tech" it was.

  • This is really scary!! I'm horrified!

  • I guess to avoid the nightmares and trauma. ;)

  • absolutely love this video!! my brother and I watched it just like we did when we were kids!!! I don't understand why it isn't shown every year just like Rudolph and Frosty and Charlie Brown and all the other classics....

  • does anyone know how to get a copy of this video?
