Here's an excerpt from a Kraft Music Hall episode starring Bing Crosby. Bing sings "Adeste Fideles," (in Latin!) joins the Charioteers and the WAVES on "Jingle Bells," and wraps up with "Silent Night" and a mighty important message for all of us, just as important to hear today as it was on December 21, 1944. Ken Carpenter also demonstrates his talent as a pitchman with two vintage holiday messages from Kraft Foods, sponsor of the program.Merry Christmas!Mark
