Merry Christmas

From the best Andy Griffith show ever, and the best rendition of "Away In The Manger" I ever heard as well:

Wow. I thought I knew every-black-and-white Andy ever made, but I don't recall ever seeing this. Thanks for posting it. :-)

Double wow! You never saw the Christmas episode? OH, you've gotta find it somewhere and watch it. It's the best spisode of all.

Old Ben objects to Andy letting his prisoner go for the holiday, so Andy comes up with a way for his prisoner's family to spend Christmas at the jail. Meanwhile, Ben does everything he can to get himself arrested so he can spend the holidays with Andy and friends, without letting on that he's lonely.

If nothing else, Mark, your place on this earth might be solely to put this video up, so I could it, again, tonight.

The devil is in the details of everything. But this clip is a wonderful vehicle for the sweetness of the nativity story, and the real simplicity, yet utter absurdity, of God's Grace.

:-)

Peace.
