Nice. The lady who wrote “House Without A Christmas Tree” is from my hometown. And I have a recording of this special from December 31, 1994. (I’ll say the video quality looks great for something taped in 1972.) Apparently there were other specials based on books that Gail (Roberta) Rock wrote, but I guess they are lost?
Apparently Tom and Loretta lived in the same house.
2:13 - "The House Without A Christmas Tree will continue".
Is that Edward Herrmann doing the voiceover? It sure sounds like him.
Al Vanik was the voiceover for KMTV during this time. I wish they kept him for several more years.
