The City That Forgot About Christmas

[OldSchoolAT40Fan]

I know Christmas is long over, but I thought I'd share this while I have the chance.

Casey Kasem provided a voice on this Christmas special, The City That Forgot About Christmas - which originally aired in the late 1960s/early 1970s (not sure of the actual year, though). The holiday special was produced by the Lutheran Association, if I am not mistaken.

Here it is:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I am almost certain I read on IMDB that he also lent his voice in another Lutheran special, Freedom Is, which was only aired in the USA and I think it was during the 4th of July back in the day. I have yet to see it, and it's nowhere to be seen on YouTube.

BTW, the same user who uploaded this episode is also a game show fan, and has clips from The Price is Right and other goodies, if I recall.

Appears to be 1974. There's no Wiki page for it but another cast member's credits includes it.

I wonder if that cast member in question is Match Game panelist Charles Nelson Reilly?

He might've been in it too, but it was Joan Gardner who happened to come up first.

Incidentally, it looks like this also featured Sebastian Cabot, aka the Winnie the Pooh story narrator.
