and I was just 4 years old in 1966. Alas, it would never be broadcast today.

I remember it coming on sometime during, or maybe between, Charlie Brown and the Grinch.

Now if only someone could dig up that old Christmas Seals PSA from 1967 with the trains...

It's a sad state of affairs we have that a simple public holiday message like that would never be able to be aired today because of these conservative windbags and their manufactured outrages. "Season's Greetings?" How Un-Christian!

we must have survived the "War on Christmas" after all. It is still being celebrated so far as I know.

That "pagan" message of "Season's Greetings" must have slipped completely under the radar. Those who are now neocon latter-day Xtians would never have accepted it.

Of course, back in 1966, the loonies did not have the same stranglehold on the M$M as they do now.

since I was around at that time, and young enough that I was still home often and would have watched TV. At 13, I should have seen that. Very sweet.

I remember it as I was 10 and also remember it running for a few years after that.

I also remember Coke's commercial with the singers on a hill (the 1990 'reunion of the same);

And the commercial remake of the same;

This song gets to every part of me - lifts the heart. That kid's voice is out there. Thanks so much.

CBS commercial I've never seen - great one.

I have more memories from TV than from my "real" life, but this must have been buried. It's beautiful. Thank you for posting.
