In 1984 & 1985, my father recorded 6 Christmas specials that aired on CBS 2 in New York. At the time he had no idea you could press pause on a VCR during the commercial breaks so the full broadcasts were recorded. This is something I'm grateful for all these years later. Every Christmas season I watch these old recordings and it fuels my childhood nostalgia.
I compiled the commercials for the pleasure of my fellow nostalgia buffs (recently I never thought about when the specials aired, but I realized they are from two different Christmases so they’re not in chronological order).
As seen from most of the bumpers the Christmas specials aired were:
-Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
-Frosty the Snowman
-‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
-A Charlie Brown Christmas
-How The Grinch Stole Christmas
-The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus
