Have a Merry Christmas With Lassie
They don't make 'em like this anymore: three heartwarming LASSIE Christmas stories featuring the Martin family. In the first one, Lassie is struck by a truck while saving a three-year-old girl. When she needs expert surgery, the Martins attempt to contact a research veterinarian who can do the job. Interspersed with beautiful Christmas carols by the Les Baxter Choir. The second story has Timmy and Lassie helping a boy and girl who are on the run with their destitute father. In the third episode, the Martins' old friends the Yochims spend Christmas Eve with the family. Son Billy Joe, Lassie and Timmy rescue a man trapped under an overturned sleigh...and Billy Joe suddenly believes the man is Santa Claus. All great stuff. Buy the child on your list--or your favorite LASSIE fan one.
Happy Holidays
You won't be disappointed with these holiday episodes from "Lassie." The picture quality and soundtrack are excellent. All episodes are in b/w. None of the episodes appear on any other dvd collection to my knowledge.
In episode 1 (1958), Lassie undergoes delicate surgery in the Martin kitchen on Christmas Eve after being hit by a car. Friends and neighbors gather in the farmyard to express their best wishes. Lovely carols from the Les Baxter Choir provide the background music throughout the episode.
In episode 2 (1960), the Martins provide a Merry Christmas for a poor, California-bound family living in a tool shed while their car is being repaired.
In episode 3 (1961), the Martins are paid a visit by their old friends Pearly Mae Yochim and her young son Billy Joe. Pearly Mae and Billy Joe have faced some very painful days since last seeing the Martins but a wonderful surprise for Billy Joe is discovered on the Martin doorstep Christmas morning...
