Bob Hope, William Frawley, Lloyd Nolan, Marilyn Maxwell — and many others you'd recognize. Has to rank as one of my favorite, if not my favorite Christmas movie. Funny as heck. Love hearing Frawley croak "chunk some dough in the kitty, or Santy will slip you a mickey". This movie introduced the song "Silver Bells".

A movie from my happy childhood.
Thanks for posting, I'll watch and think of my Christmases (from the lens of a kid in a real family in the '50s).

"The Lemon Drop Kid"
Hearkens back to a time when dutiful Boy Scouts would charitably help little old transvestites across the street.
