My mom was a huge fan of all the singer's variety shows--especially the Christmas shows. Back then you had one TV with five channels, so whatever the folks wanted to watch was what you saw in the evenings. This was still true the year I graduated (1968) so I watched this with my family. :)
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.
...ah 1968, the year we got married.
ReplyDeleteI was in junior high school ;)
DeleteI remember watching these. My Mom loved Bing, and it was the one show she would stop everything when it came on. :) Happy weekend Nita.
ReplyDeleteWe watched them, too. It's fun that they're available online now :)

ReplyDeleteYes, we had 4 channels, and variety shows were popular back then. The Christmas specials were a highlight :)
DeleteI actually remember watching this way back then. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see a few modern Christmas variety show specials. Nice :)
DeleteI'm sure I must have seen this, because my parents loved Bing. I just don't remember. That's getting to be my mantra lately. 😺
ReplyDeleteThere are so many shows/movies I know I've seen but don't remember.
DeleteI love these vintage shows. And you really can't beat Bing!
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, aren't they?!
DeleteI cannot believe how much play time the Christmas radio station is giving to Bing & White Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBeats "Baby, It's Cold Outside" lol
