Well, we made it and if you’re one of the few who came here today to hear more Christmas music, I don’t want to disappoint you but I probably will.
It’s Christmas Eve and I expect a lot of regular listeners have a lot of things to do today. With that in mind, I opted for something different instead of music. I didn’t think it made sense to spend a couple of hours putting together one final Christmas medley when I anticipated very few listeners. For the record, I don’t blame anyone for being a little too busy today.
Instead of music, I am presenting two classic radio broadcasts, both of them with Christmas Eve as a major part of the storyline.
The first is the 1947 Lux Radio Theater production of It’s A Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It’s a 49-minute production, and yes, I deleted the commercials.
The second is a 1939 Campbell Playhouse production of A Christmas Carol, starring the immortal Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge and the equally immortal Orson Welles as the narrator. The play lasts 45 minutes, and again, it is commercial free.
I will be taking a few weeks off and will return on January 3. To each one of you, I wish you a safe, peaceful, and very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
These are classics for sure! Thank you for sharing a location where I will always be able to access them, so that I have a way to enjoy them without a tv set.
I really liked the “radio” way of having the “audience” applauding at the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life “.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your family and friends! 🙏🎄😊🎄🙏
Get some much deserved rest and relaxation and Killian and I will “hear” you next year! ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Thank you, fellas. ❤❤
Peace be upon you as the world celebrates a life.
