What I Want For Christmas – Lotsa Wavy Hair Like Liberace!

Here’s a treasure from 1954 – Liberace’s Christmas Special! His brother George is there along with Santa Claus and the rest of Liberace’s family!

Of course, it would be easy and/or lazy to make all of the obvious jokes about Liberace, but this special was shot before he got carried away with the Las Vegas act. He was an entertainer in a tuxedo who knew he was an entertainer and was happy playing a piano for the viewers at home. His inclusion of his family on-stage is actually very sweet. You see this guy before he became a cartoon character within the context of his family. He was a brother, uncle and son who happened to work in show business.
