Christmas Songs

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes the star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads invites you to a special Railroad Hour Christmas Party. Starring Gordon MacRae, his guest star Lucille Norman, and the entire company.

Harkwire is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Portions of this celebration were especially transcribed for this festive occasion and brought to you by the American railroads the same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon McRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller and Happy Christmas, everybody. Isn't Christmas night a wonderful time? There's a warm glow inside of you that only happens once a year. on this particular night.

You can almost feel everybody taking off shoes and loosening belts coast to coast. The kids are exhausted from playing with their hop along Cassidy pistols and their electric trains and the adults are exhausted from playing with their hop along Cassidy pistols and electric trains.

And here in our studio there's a big treat for our railroad, our family. Lucille, Carmen, Norman, and all of us who make music together on the railroad hour throughout the year. So folks, won't you join us?

Here's lovely Lucille Norman to join our railroad hour Christmas party. Lucille with Christmas tree stars and her beautiful little eyes.

It's been a wonderful day Gordon, and it's so nice to be celebrating Christmas with all of you. What's your holiday wish, Lucille? Well, it's a special prayer and hope for all the men in our armed services who are far away from home on this Christmas night.
