Poll question: Boomers. What TV Xmas special did you family watch every year?
Ahhh, the 50's and 60's with their cheesy holday specials. They were lame but people actually looked forward to watching them every year.

In my house it was Mitch Miller for a while and then Perry Como.
My Italian grandparents had to watch the Jimmy Durante extravaganza.

Was there a aprticular Xmas special that your family watched?

We watched that special every year. He didn't have a bad voice, actually.
