Years ago (1979 to be exact) I worked at a radio station that ran a show called Christmas at the Memories. It ran three hours on 10 1/2 inch reels. I brought home a Revox deck and dubbed a copy onto cassettes.

It features every Christmas million seller through 1979, and snippets of Christmas radio shows by Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Amos and Andy, and a full length Mr. First Nighter depicting the Nativity. We often play it while decorating the tree.

But I probably will. I so enjoy listening to these old shows when I see what's on the TV these days.
