December 15, 1983-Christmas In Washington (NBC)

A year ago I uploaded the first "Christmas In Washington" special that aired in 1982. Here's the 1983 special (minus commercials and missing a few seconds at the beginning) with Andy Williams, Leslie Uggams, Julio Iglesias and NBC news correspondent Roger Mudd with a closing speech by President Reagan. It's the first year the US Naval Academy Glee Club performed the traditional "Christmas In Washington" opening carol that would be a staple for the next fifteen years. The Christmas In Washington specials would remain an annual tradition on NBC and later TNT through 2015.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Thank you so much for posting this! My mother was a huge Andy Williams fan and she talked about how good this show was for years after. Miss you Mom. ❤
