Here's an excerpt from a Kraft Music Hall episode starring Bing Crosby. Bing sings "Adeste Fideles," (in Latin!) joins the Charioteers and the WAVES on "Jingle Bells," and wraps up with "Silent Night" and a mighty important message for all of us, just as important to hear today as it was on December 21, 1944. Ken Carpenter also demonstrates his talent as a pitchman with two vintage holiday messages from Kraft Foods, sponsor of the program.

Merry Christmas!

If there ever was an "Autumn Lake" Hallowe'en TV special, it would probably sound something like this. Not really, but hey, I had to do all the voices myself (even Christine!). The mood is right even if the voices aren't. It's obviously modeled on the Charlie Brown TV Specials and shamelessly so.

Happy Hallowe'en!
