A Christmas classic that has been broadcast on television for more than 60 years was almost cancelled after its first airing because of what it didn't show.
The lights are low, the shadows are flickering, the television is broadcasting in full HD glory. These are the holiday television specials many of us remember. We remember who was naughty and why they got nice.
When I hear these songs I am transported back to a different time in my life. I had very little money, a broken down car and an apartment that was barely big enough to hold a bed. In spite of it all I was making a living being on the radio and that is the only place I ever wanted to be.
