The Spirit of Christmas - Mabel Beaton Marionettes and Bell Telephone AT&T (1953)



Hello Friends,

We found this A-MAZING clip online.

Apparently this annual Christmas program starring marionettes and Bell Telephone employees aired every year starting in 1953 on local Philadelphia television station WHYY-TV12.

Ask anybody who grew up in Philly in the 50's or 60's and they'll fondly remember this as one of the first made-for-tv annual holiday specials!  Before Peanuts, before Magoo, before those Rankin-Bass stop-motion classics was "The Spirit of Christmas"!

Enjoy!
