One of our favorite Christmas albums when we were kids was Mitch Miller’s ‘Christmas Sing Along With Mitch’. Here’s an episode of ‘Sing Along With Mitch’ that features many of the old-time holiday favorites.

I noted something a little strange on the fifth clip featuring Leslie Uggams – when the camera zooms down on her, a strange fuzzy glow seems to encompass her from the neck down. Maybe a little camera trick to shield vulnerable viewers in 1966 from seeing an overexposed decolletage that may have gone unnoticed when the scene was shot – and they didn’t have time to shoot it again, so they ‘fixed’ it in post-production. Interesting.
