I like these old time singers at Christmas. Some people might say the songs are bit sexist and outdated, but they speak of a time gone by and so you can't expect them to be like today. I don't remember this special. My parents didn't like Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra. Can you image that? Happy new month. Hope the second has been a good day for you Nita.
Love Dean Martin, when I think of him I can remember so many fabulous songs! I love Christmas too so I will enjoy watching this show, thanks for sharing 😁. Happy December! Hugs Jo x
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.
...he sure was a smoothie!

DeleteWow, it was a very different world back then! I enjoyed watching it, but can't help thinking about how it would be viewed using today's optics.
ReplyDeleteContext is important. Today's variety Christmas shows are different but still have a lot in common with the old ones.

ReplyDeleteDaddy liked Dean Martin, and we watched his tv show :) There's so much sexism today I have trouble condemning the 60s :(
DeleteBob Newhart was hilarious and Dennis Weaver looked SO young. I really enjoyed this one.
