Viewing Notes

Not quite as good as the original Little Drummer Boy from 1968 but also more serious? Always felt this was an interesting way to teach youngsters about religious stories.

DKUTV is running a Rankin Bass holiday marathon this morning and I tuned in during the middle of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Decided to stick with it bc I’ve never seen this Little Drummer Boy “sequel” and wonder if it even got airplay.
