I enjoyed this article on the episode where Jack plays Santa and thought others might, too.

I think I may be the only one never to hear this episode. Anyone have a current link?

Ed Walker played it on his Christmas Eve broadcast from WAMU in Washington, DC and you can listen to that broacast at their website:

Phil and Alice's show is the second half hour, right after Fibber and Molly and the Lost Key episode... which is one of their very best, IMO.

Thank you for that article- I'll take anything I can get on that show! The same script was actually used two years in a row: 12-21-47 and 12-19-48. In the '48 Rexall version Jingle Bells is a bit more upbeat and Phil calls Frankie "Waldo" and Frankie calls Phil "Spangler".
That's funny, Norman Krasna loved that joke.
