Nothing went together better than color tv and holiday specials

[Sandy G]

I think I only got to see the "Rudolph" show maybe once or 2X when I was a kid, IIRC, they showed it on the Sunday Night our church had their big Little Kiddies' Christmas shindig...And I DID NOT have the option of not going, unless I was so sick I wished I could die...I feigned a Sore Throat one time, & Mama said I'd have to go to bed...NO TV...I made a MIRACULOUS recovery...Same old dumb stuff every year...Plus, we had to go to Sunday School & Church, then back to the church at 4.30 for the Christmas Shindig, & it wasn't over til 8 or so...And I was of the age that "Church" meant shirt 'n' tie, scratchy wool pants, suit jacket, the whole 9 yards...
