GATT: ‘White Christmas’ Connection
Before viewers could tape shows, buy the movie, stream them into your
computer, or have them mailed to your house you had one time in a
Christmas season to see a favorite show. That was it.
Somehow we always
seemed to be home on the night “White Christmas” was on. We saw it many
times. Dad and Grandma Woolum loved Bing Crosby and his connection to
Spokane and Gonzaga. He was one of those ” we are not worthy”
actor/singers that Dad would have called ” a class act”. It helped that
Dad enjoyed the actor, the song and the movie otherwise when the movie
came on that one time we may have had to compete with Bonanza, Gunsmoke,
or Dean Martin.
I remember waiting for it, seeing it together, singing “White Christmas”
and “Sisters”, and loving the plan with all the servicemen to come to
the place in Vermont/
