Christmas leftovers, anyone?

A little disappointing overall. I love classic radio, but this doesn't feel like the best Christmas episodes. More like stuff leftover after other, better compilations were made. One reason, I think, is that it's almost all from the 50s, when even the great shows weren't that great anymore.

The title details only list episodes from A to L, so heres a few more shows included:
Lux Radio Theatre
My Favorite Husband
Nero Wolfe
Our Miss Brooks
Suspense
The Whistler
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
and more

A few seasonal gems, but all in all, disappointing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
