We're going to turn back the clock a few years this evening, eight to be exact, 00:34.360 --> 00:39.360 and show you what happened to the Nelson household during Christmas week in 1956. 00:39.360 --> 00:42.360 We thought we'd warn you just in case we all look a little younger. 00:42.360 --> 00:47.360 We hope you enjoy reminiscing with us. 00:47.360 --> 00:50.360 There certainly are lots of beautiful Christmas cards this year. 00:50.360 --> 00:52.360 Yeah, they're coming in kind of early, aren't they? 00:52.360 --> 00:55.360 Are you kidding? Christmas is less than a week away. 00:55.360 --> 00:59.360 Is that possible? Boy, it really sneaks up on you. 00:59.360 --> 01:02.360 Oh, here's a nice card from Dr. Williams and his family. 01:02.360 --> 01:08.360 Oh, yeah. Boy, the kids are sure getting big. 01:08.360 --> 01:11.360 You'd think they'd write a little something on it, wouldn't you? 01:11.360 --> 01:14.360 Oh, no, not necessarily. It's a nice picture of the family. 01:14.360 --> 01:17.360 Oh, yeah, I like these family photographs best of all, 01:17.360 --> 01:20.360 but I like people to write a little something on them, 01:20.360 --> 01:27.360 particularly when they're such good friends of ours. 01:27.360 --> 01:30.360 Here's what I mean. Listen to this. 01:30.360 --> 01:35.360 May this be your happiest Christmas, and may all that follow be even happier. 01:35.360 --> 01:38.360 Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 01:38.360 --> 01:44.360 We hope we may always be privileged to include you among our nicest and best friends. 01:44.360 --> 01:47.360 Isn't that nice? Oh, it certainly is. Who's it from? 01:47.360 --> 01:51.360 Jack McLeaners. 01:55.360 --> 01:59.360 Pardon me. 01:59.360 --> 02:02.360 Oh, let's look at these games over here, Harriet. 02:02.360 --> 02:06.360 Harriet? 02:06.360 --> 02:11.360 Attention, please.

Thank you. 02:44.360 --> 02:48.360 I guess this must be the only quiet corner in the store. 02:48.360 --> 02:51.360 Quite a crowd, isn't it? Isn't it, though? 02:51.360 --> 02:57.360 It seems that no matter how early I start my Christmas shopping, I always get caught in the last minute rush. 02:57.360 --> 02:59.360 Well, that's the way it goes. 02:59.360 --> 03:04.360 Attention, please. Calling Irving Muller. That's Irving Muller. 03:04.360 --> 03:14.360 Your mother is waiting for you at the Lost and Found Department. 03:14.360 --> 03:21.360 You know, every time I hear Silent Night, it reminds me of a wonderful Christmas Eve years ago when Harriet and I were first married. 03:21.360 --> 03:29.360 We'd finished trimming the tree and we'd opened a few of our presents and we're just sitting there in front of the fireplace. 03:29.360 --> 03:37.360 And all of a sudden, as if from out of nowhere, we heard voices singing Silent Night. 03:37.360 --> 03:46.360 It was a group of carolers, friends of ours, and they'd stopped in front of our house to sing for us. 03:46.360 --> 03:49.360 You know, one of my favorites. 03:49.360 --> 03:53.360 Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la la la. 03:53.360 --> 03:58.360 My goodness, isn't that a coincidence? We have the most wonderful arrangement of that. 03:58.360 --> 04:00.360 Oh, how about that? 04:00.360 --> 04:04.360 Why don't you and Mrs. Nelson join us? It wouldn't take much of your time. 04:04.360 --> 04:09.360 Well, I'll speak to her and see how she feels about it. 04:09.360 --> 04:11.360 Oh, she'd love it. 04:11.360 --> 04:17.360 Um, Clara Randolph phoned her and she said she'd be glad to if you were willing. 04:17.360 --> 04:26.360 Now hear this. Now hear this. Will little Ozzie Nelson please report to the Lost and Found Department? 04:26.360 --> 04:29.360 Oh, I beg your pardon. I'm sorry. 04:29.360 --> 04:35.360 Will Mr. Ozzie Nelson please report to the Lost and Found Department? Your wife is looking for you. 04:35.360 --> 04:37.360 Oh, I'm sorry. 04:39.360 --> 04:41.360 Hey, that looks real nice. 04:41.360 --> 04:42.360 Thank you, dear. 04:42.360 --> 04:43.360 Thanks, Pop. 04:43.360 --> 04:45.360 How come you didn't buy a Christmas tree when you were downtown? 04:45.360 --> 04:47.360 Oh, it's a little too soon, Dave. 04:47.360 --> 04:49.360 Your father wants to wait until Christmas Eve. 04:49.360 --> 04:54.360 Well, no, it isn't a question of waiting until Christmas Eve. I just want to take things as they come along. 04:54.360 --> 04:57.360 I'm not going to get involved in a lot of complications this year. 04:57.360 --> 05:01.360 Well, it seems to me you're involved already. You're going to sing Christmas carol. 05:01.360 --> 05:05.360 Well, I got tricked into that and you helped. But that's all I'm going to do. 05:05.360 --> 05:07.360 When are we going to start putting up the lights outside the house, Pop? 05:07.360 --> 05:10.360 Uh, we're not going to do that this year. 05:10.360 --> 05:11.360 Who says so? 05:11.360 --> 05:15.360 I say so. I'm the guy who gets stuck with all the work. 05:15.360 --> 05:16.360 We'll help you. 05:16.360 --> 05:21.360 Yeah, you guys always say that. But I'm the one who has to climb up on the roof and string the lights up. 05:21.360 --> 05:25.360 Well, if you don't want to do anything so elaborate, why don't you just hang a few lights around the front door? 05:25.360 --> 05:30.360 Oh, sure. I start putting them up around the front door and somebody makes a few suggestions. 05:30.360 --> 05:33.360 All of a sudden there's a ladder standing next to me. 05:33.360 --> 05:36.360 And the next thing I know I'm up on the roof stringing the lights around the chimney. 05:36.360 --> 05:37.360 Hi, Dave. 05:37.360 --> 05:38.360 Oh, hi, Doctor. Come on in. 05:38.360 --> 05:39.360 Thanks. 05:39.360 --> 05:40.360 Uh, Pop, it's Dr. Williams. 05:40.360 --> 05:41.360 Hi, Oz. 05:41.360 --> 05:42.360 Hi, Doc. 05:42.360 --> 05:43.360 Hello, Harriet. 05:43.360 --> 05:44.360 No, I can only stay a minute. 05:44.360 --> 05:45.360 What do you think? 05:45.360 --> 05:49.360 I don't have enough to do so they made me chairman of the Christmas Entertainment Committee at the men's club. 05:49.360 --> 05:52.360 Oh, boy. That sounds like a lot of hard work. 05:52.360 --> 05:54.360 Oh, I don't think so. It sounds like a lot of fun. 05:54.360 --> 05:56.360 You going to do the pageant again this year? 05:56.360 --> 06:01.360 Well, we were going to, but Joe Randolph came up with the suggestion that we do Dickens' Christmas Carol. 06:01.360 --> 06:03.360 So they talked me into playing the nephew. 06:03.360 --> 06:06.360 You see, Harriet, that's just what I was talking about. 06:06.360 --> 06:12.360 Here's a man, one of the busiest men in town, a doctor, and they impose on him and spoil his Christmas. 06:12.360 --> 06:13.360 Are you kidding, Oz? 06:13.360 --> 06:15.360 No, I'm not kidding. 06:15.360 --> 06:17.360 Oh, I get it.

If you think I'm going to play a part in your Christmas play, you've got another thing coming. 06:29.360 --> 06:32.360 That's perfect, Oz. That's old Scrooge himself. 06:32.360 --> 06:34.360 Christmas, bah! 06:34.360 --> 06:36.360 I knew you'd be wonderful. 06:36.360 --> 06:38.360 Sure you would. We'll count on you, Oz. 06:38.360 --> 06:41.360 Now, wait a minute. In the first place, how am I going to learn that big, long part? 06:41.360 --> 06:43.360 Well, that'll be easy. We're going to do a short version. 06:43.360 --> 06:44.360 I'll send you the script. 06:44.360 --> 06:46.360 Won't you stay for some coffee, Doc? 06:46.360 --> 06:48.360 Oh, no thanks, Harriet. I've got to get home. 06:48.360 --> 06:50.360 I promised Cheryl I'd start putting up the lights around the house. 06:50.360 --> 06:53.360 Oh, we aren't going to put up any lights this year. 06:53.360 --> 06:54.360 You're not? 06:54.360 --> 06:57.360 Oh, well, yes, we are. We're just not going to make such a big deal of it, that's all. 06:57.360 --> 06:59.360 Oh, that's a shame. 06:59.360 --> 07:01.360 Well, we'll count on you playing Scrooge, Oz. 07:01.360 --> 07:03.360 Christmas, bah! 07:08.360 --> 07:09.360 Hi, Oz. 07:09.360 --> 07:10.360 Well, hello there, Joe. 07:10.360 --> 07:11.360 Hey, you're just in time. 07:11.360 --> 07:14.360 How would you like to help me hang these lights up in front of the house? 07:14.360 --> 07:16.360 Oh, thanks, Oz.
