Jack's Christmas Open House

The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with this can't be loved. Ladies and gentlemen, you know I've been thinking that today is a day of universal thank you.

Everybody's unwrapping Christmas gifts, everybody's saying thank you to somebody else, and we want to say it too. We want to thank you listeners for your gift to us of friendship and loyalty during the past four and a half years.

You made us mighty happy, tuning in every Sunday night and we hope that we in turn will help make you happy and brought you some pleasant half hours. So for the makers of Jell-O and for every one of us on the Jell-O program, thank you and Merry Christmas.

That was This Can't Be Love, played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, This being Christmas Day, we look in on Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills, where he's holding open house for all his friends. Take it away!

Jingle Bells, jingle Bells, jingle around the table. Oh, what fun it is to ride in rumble seat with gables. Jingle Bells, jingle Bells, them... Mary, I wish you wouldn't jingle this ladder. I'm liable to fall off.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jack. And, hammy, the rest of those ornaments. I want to get this tree decorated before the gang gets here. It's a fine time to be chiming a Christmas tree. It should have been done a week ago.

Well, I wanted to look around and get a real good one. I never saw such a droopy tree. It looks like that's a fish in a green dress. Mary, all this tree needs is a few decorations.
