500 OTR Christmas Shows

500 OTR Christmas Holiday Shows Five hundred Christmas holiday-themed old time radio shows. Also includes some Christmas-week news and New Year's Eve shows (and year-end retrospectives and news). Plus the Christmas V-Discs (I've uploaded a set of V-Discs to Archive.org) and a rip of Dennis Day's 1958 LP Christmas Is For The Family (with Jack Benny). Not meant to be comprehensive but there's a lot, and they range from the ridiculous (The Christmas Bride) to the sublime (Truth or Consequence's hometown sound collage for a hospitalized paralyzed vet) and everything in-between. As always, any error or typo is mine and if you enjoy my uploads or if you intend to make $ or otherwise profit from these files, please consider making a donation to a veteran's charity of your choice and/or Archive.org itself. Thanks. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

The Way It Really Was
harron68
(3 Sterne)
I haven't listened to more than ten percent of these, but from my decades of hearing "old time radio" shows I know these accurately reflect the way folks thought and felt. By today's standards they may seem corny, sexist and racist. In those times attitudes were different and they're reflected here. To enjoy the entertainment one needs to accept and be open to a vastly different era. Things went slower, people accepted old jokes, believed that might didn't always make right and caring about one's neighbors was expected. If those feelings are wrong, maybe we need to look at today's attitudes and check on our prejudices and false beliefs. The art of an era reflects its society. What do today's arts say about who we are? Enjoy these shows without judgment, they were what earlier generations of Americans loved. They deserve our consideration.
Thank You so much

Thanks so much for your effort. I pick-out my favorites and burn them to a CD and listen to them that way. It helps an old man to keep the Christmas spirit in these troubled times. THANKS again.

Halfway through FDR's Fireside Talk, a simple and repetitive electronic version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" starts playing along with the sound of Roosevelt's voice. What the heck? Very annoying and distracting and.....just plain weird.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for gathering and posting. These shows embody the kind of Christmas spirit that I love, even if I was born too late to experience them first-hand. Well done.
Thanks! And Merry Christmas!
