December 23, 1943, Appleton Post-Crescent
I must admit, I wasn't aware of this show as a Christmas favorite. But I did a little research and learned that it is based on traditional Anglo-American songs and carols. Purportedly, the show always features two aspects of the season: the familiar Christmas story as recounted in the New Testament, and the visiting customs involving gift-giving, performing dances and plays, and sharing food and drink with neighbors and family. I'm sure their fathers, serving all over the world during the war, were justifiably proud to receive this photo clipped out of the newspaper and included in a welcome letter from home.
