This is the finale of our annual time-traveling expedition to Christmas Past. And we are closing it out with a huge radio extravaganza. The 1945 Christmas Day radio broadcast sponsored by the Elgin Watch Company. This two-hour show features numerous big-name celebrities, including Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Red Skelton. The broadcast also has a real sense of relief, as America officially entered the post-war era. It includes a segment dedicated to veterans, highlighting their contributions and the importance of supporting their reintegration into civilian life, and reflected the joy of the post-war Christmas season.
