December 22 - Christmas with the Clampetts

I've always loved the Beverly Hillbillies and the Christmas episodes are a lot of fun! The first was 50 years ago in their first season as they packed up the truck to head back home for the celebration with Pearl and Jethrine. Whenever I fly, I always remember the Clampetts first experience on an airplane and have a little laugh. Most of this episode is not really about Christmas, but about travel and Pearl trying to get Mr. Brewster to marry her, but at the end we get a nice carol and Christmas Wish.

The next year, Jed and the gang stayed home and received lavish gifts from the Drysdales. A boat, TV, Skipper the monkey and more! They also gave a lavish gift in a full length mink (as long as they come) to Mrs. Drysdale. Payed for of course, because she did want a mink stole! ( hahaha)

I always love the simple humor and joy of this show.
