Jack Benny's Christmas Open House

 From December 24, 1950 (exactly 65 years ago today), this is a great Christmas Eve episode of Jack Benny with Phil Harris and Elliott Lewis making an appearance as Remley (a special occasion, as Remley was never heard on-mic on the Benny program). Merry Christmas!

The Ski Trip

 From March 16, 1952 (a bit out of order). The title of this episode is usually falsely attributed to the episode "Guns In The Courthouse". Announcement: tomorrow begins the Christmas episode marathon!
