It’s Christmas time in Mayberry so it’s time for our Christmas episode. The Andy Griffith Show only had one episode centered around a holiday and that was, of course, Christmas. Fans have watched time and again as Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested so he can spend Christmas in jail with the Taylor’s and the Muggins’. It’s touched our hearts.
We’ll try to bring back that feeling as we go through Mayberry memories of Christmas time and try to make a new memory or two while we’re at it. There is a special guest back again this year from over in Dodge City. His name is Festus Haggen and he has a really good story to tell about Santa. There’s a new poem called “Mayberry Courthouse Christmas” written by Ronnie Felker (a.k.a. FearlessFife.com).
This Week in Mayberry History features Randy Turner himself with a Christmas greeting.
Finally, we hear from Elinor Donahue about recording “Away in a Manger” with Andy then we wrap up by hearing her sing.
It’s a wonderful life and I hope by the end of the show, we can all agree that everything is okay, in Mayberry.
