TELEVISION CHRISTMAS SPECIALS LIKE PERRY, ANDY, BING, AND BOB, USED TO DO............

Last night for the second consecutive year, NBC Television and Brad Lachman Productiobs presented a Michael Buble musical Christmas Special, of the kind from the 1950's through the mid 1980's were staples of December tv viewing, as presented by Perry Como, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, and Bob Hope.  I am very happy to see this experience of Christmas entertainment return to American television.  A delightful and fully loaded hour of spirited songs, music, and rapartee with his guest stars it was.  Michael Buble is the ideal host for this wonderful style of holiday enjoyment.  His guests Carly Rae Jepsen, Rod Stewart, Blake Shelton, and Elmo, complemented the hour's celebration nicely.  Being the second annual Michael Buble Christmas Special broadcast, hopefully makes him and future Christmas Specials, the perfect return to a Christmas tradition that for the most part has been sorely missing from tv the past quarter century.  If you missed it last night, check it out online and brighten up the spirit of Christmas with, "Michael Buble - Home For The Holidays"............Fr.  Troy
