I absolutely loved the Rankin & Bass productions. Our family religiously watched this every year, along with Frosty the Snowman (a cartoon), and the big guns - Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer. And of course The Grinch! So fun growing up with these. A simpler time. Thank you.

I watched them too. I miss the innocence of that time. I loved these shows.

Just saw someone do an overview of "Santa, Inc" (satanic?) and it is beyond horrible... that's what kids have now. Lots of profanity, liberal wokie messaging, including attacking white men (of course), a terrible script, unfunny and mean. We had it so much better with the Christmas shows we grew up with.

I am Jewish and that is also one of my favorite Christmas songs. I think my father was a fan of your father - just a fuzzy memory. Thanks for all your important work. Baby K just mentioned your research on the Highwire.

Perfect timing! I'm making German Glühwein (Swedish Glögg - (blanched almonds + raisins)) for my parents right now. Zesting the oranges and the lemons...

This was part of my childhood too. Back then when you saw a Rankin and Bass cartoon, you knew it was special.

Your story reminds me of one of my favorite Bibi Songs, “Does it have to be Christmas this year?”.
