I remember WGN using a clip of this in their "Merry Christmas from WGN Chicago" ads. Back when it was the good thing to do.

This is for personal reasons that go back to childhood, my favorite Christmas movie. Even though it may not rank up there with others critically you can't take from it that it introduced Silver Bells. I even have a 78 of it and it says on it from the motion picture "Lemon Drop Kid" - it is sung by Bing.

That was William Frawley as the Santa at the beginning?

I remember,as a boy in the 60's, watching this on the late late show. Wonderful memories indeed.

Turner Classic Movies played "The Lemon Drop Kid" last night. It was explained that Silver Bells was written for the movie. The movie studios gave the song to Bing Crosby, who rushed it out and it became a hit. Bob Hope was mad at the studio for doing it.

Same here!

I remember watching the movie every year with my mom.

I have it on dvd and it brings back great memories.

It also really makes me miss my family every time I watch it!

Merry Christmas
