It’s Christmas in Mayberry so it’s time once again for our annual Christmas episode. The Andy Griffith Show only had one episode centered around a holiday and that was, of course, Christmas. Fans have watched that episode time and again as Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested so he can spend Christmas in jail with the Taylor’s, the Muggins’, and Miss Ellie. It’s touched our heart every time.

Each year we try to bring back that feeling as we go through our Mayberry memories of Christmas time. We also make a new memory or two in the process. We have 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 story called “The Fife Before Christmas” by my friend Rik Roberts who played “Barney” in the Mayberry Man movie.

We have a favorite of mine by Charlie Monk called “Andy and Opie Christmas” that brings back memories of a small town Christmas that sure reminds me of Mayberry.

To close out the episode, we hear from Elinor Donahue about recording “Away in a Manger” with Andy then we hearing her sing.

God bless you and I hope you have a very merry Christmas.

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.

There is one Christmas episode of The Andy Griffith Show and it is from that episode that inspiration for this podcast episode each year. This episode is similar to previous Christmas episodes but if we can watch reruns of “The Christmas Story over and over again, doing an episode of Two Chairs No Waiting that’s almost, but not quite exactly, like the ones from years past shouldn’t be a problem for most.

You can enjoy hearing some Christmas music related to Mayberry. It’s a tradition that we have established here at Two Chairs No Waiting so I hope you enjoy it.

There is a special guest this year in the form of Festus from Gunsmoke. He has a really good story to tell on Doc that you are going to love.

We take a wonderful return trip down memory lane with Charlie Monk called “Andy & Opie Christmas.” Get a report from MayberryTone News and hear Miss Ellie sing.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring Teri Garr.

There is only one Christmas episode of The Andy Griffith Show and it is the inspiration for this podcast episode each year. It’s similar to previous Christmas episodes but I figure if we can watch a rerun of “The Christmas Story” over and over again, doing an episode of Two Chairs No Waiting that’s similar to the ones from years past shouldn’t be a problem for most.

At least folks can enjoy hearing some Christmas music related to Mayberry each year. It’s a tradition that I guess we’ll continue here at Two Chairs No Waiting so I hope you enjoy it.

There is a special guest this year in the form of Festus from Gunsmoke. He has a really good story to tell on Doc that I think you’re going to love.

We get to hear Ben Sandifer’s wonderful Mayberry Christmas poem.

We take a wonderful return trip down memory lane with Charlie Monk called “Andy & Opie Christmas.” Get a report from MayberryTone News and hear Miss Ellie sing.

Merry Christmas everyone!
