Twas The Night Before Christmas

Man, I just realized it will be Christmas in a few days and got to thinking about Christmas programming back in the late 50's and early 60's on our TV. Usually regular weekly programs had a Christmas episode, but there was not too much in the way of Christmas specials that I remember except one. It was produced by Bell Telephone and came on every year before Christmas. It was puppets acting out the Night Before Christmas and the Nativity. It featured the Mabel Blanton Marionettes. For some reason this half hour program stuck in my mind all these years, even though it left TV by the mid 60's. If your under 50, you won't know what I am talking about, but to those of you who do, click here This is my Christmas present to you.
