With everything that has been on TV this holiday season, only 3 specials have the unique distinction of being aired EVERY year since their debut! Can you identify this trio?
Considering December 22 was the 75th anniversary of the classic song, who was the first Pogo character to actually sing ♫Deck Us All With Boston Charlie♫?
Churchy La Femme, although Walt Kelly portrayed other characters performing the song over other Christmases until the Pogo strip ended in 1975.
