Sounds Like Radio is proud to present the return of a Paul Harvey Christmas tradition!   Every year on Christmas Day Paul Harvey's special Christmas message telling the story of The Man & The Birds was heard all across the land.    Each year I would be sure to tune in and catch this very moving Christmas story that Paul Harvey would tell.   I am happy to say that Paul Harvey Christmas annual tradition is back right here on Your Humble Host's Sounds Like Radio.   Hear now this beautiful Christmas parable.

Today a really neat Shepherd show for Christmas as he tells the story “Rattling Home For Christmas”.  It all takes place on a train at Christmastime.   You'll hear the train whistle and the tracks rumbling beneath you in this one.  I’m already hitting the play button, join Your Humble Host on this Christmas Train Tale.

From Volume 62 of the Vast Library of Sound comes a personal Christmas favorite.  Your Humble Host is pleased to bring you one of his exclusive tapes (with much better sound than what's out on the interwebs) of one of the special Christmas shows he saves for Christmas Eve package wrapping.   Today it's time for Bing Crosby's Chesterfield Christmas show with none other than Ethel Barrymore as guest.   From December 21, 1949 a complete show including original 1949 commercials, it's all here for your Christmas enjoyment.

Bing and Ethel seem to be happy to be with each other and Ethel loves Bing's Christmas songs.   Well, so do we, here is this really nice show filled with mirth & music!

Lionel Barrymore was the Best Ebenezer Scrooge.  A Christmas Eve Tradition is alive again now on Sounds Like Radio.  Lionel Barrymore, the definitive Scrooge, used to do perform this show every year on radio and he’s back again on this Sounds Like Radio Christmas Special!  Enjoy for yourself this Orson Welles production that I’ve listened to EVERY Christmas Eve for years and years.  It’s a classic.

A Sounds Like Radio Christmas Tradition, time to hear from those 2 old codgers down in Pine Ridge as they celebrate Christmas right here on Sounds Like Radio!   A funny story & Lum & Abner's traditional beautiful story of one night on Christmas Eve.   A show I've heard each year for over 40 years & I look forward to it every Christmas Eve, now you can too.   Enjoy.

Welcome to your Humble Host's Poetry Corner once again.  Today I'll tell you the tale of The Boy Who Laughed At Santa Claus.   A cautionary ode to those that scoff at Santa.    A fun little ode I think you'll enjoy.

We're enjoying this Christmas with a couple of our favorites, Phil Harris and Jack Benny.   In this Christmas time edition of the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 159 we have the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show!   It seems Phil & Alice are in need of a Santa Claus to come on Christmas Eve to visit their kids, Phyllis & Alice.   But who to get?   Who can they call to come over as Santa?  Ahh, Phil has it, Jack Benny!!   Another very funny Christmas show as originally broadcast December 19, 1948.   Get ready to laugh, this is a classic.

It’s that perfect time for Jean Shepherd and in Vol. 63 from the Vast Library of Sound Jean’s in fine form telling several different stories from different Christmas’ he’s had. A kid story, an army Christmas story and more--he’s feeling good with Christmas cheer nuttiness.  Join in the spirit of fun with Shep and Your Humble Host.

From deep into the Christmas Vault of the Library of Sound we find Volume 158 and The Whistler!!   Yes, it's a Christmas edition of The Whistler as it was originally heard on December 25, 1944.   Today the Whistler is giving out a Christmas Bonus.   But is this a good thing?  You never know when the Whistler starts a puckerin'.   But Your Humble Host is the curious sort, so let's find out.  

On Volume 61 of the Library of Sound we have a pre-Christmas treat for you.  Hear now the radio version of Bing’s classic movie “Holiday Inn”!! Dinah Shore stars along with Bing in this January 11, 1943 broadcast of “Holiday Inn”.   Sounds Like Radio is really is Your Christmas Place to be.  Enjoy!
