The Lawrence Welk Show Christmas, 1972

One of the greatest Christmas intros in the history of mankind... from the 1972 Lawrence Welk Show Christmas special.  I do not understand why everyone laughs when he says something about a riding/writing song?  Is this a weird in-joke?  I will get you for this, Mr. Welk.

As an alleged bonus, here's "In the Mood" (not Christmasy) from one of the final Welk episodes in 1982.  This features Gayle, Ron and Michael.  Weird to hear it with words, play acting and Ron's apparent sunburn.

Finally, a spell-binding (for babies) version of "Georgy Girl" by John Lennon's Lennon Sisters.
