Until recently the only copy of this performance we had was a VHS recording (complete with commercials) from my wife’s childhood. It didn’t have the end of the performance though so I never knew how it ended! It was posted to YouTube a couple years ago and I finally got to see how it ends.
Have you seen this not to famous and not on sale for purchase holiday classic? What did you think? Let me know in the comments and on social.
