by Lauren Novak

Published December 22, 2020

Listen to Will Geers monologue about the meaning of Christmas on The Waltons Christmas album

The Waltons was a very popular show in the ‘70s that spawned many other products, including a Christmas album. The music in the album was performed by a choir called the Holiday Singers. Earl Hamner Jr. narrated the album and Will Geer, who played Grandpa Walton on the series, made a very special appearance in a song.

There is one beautiful song on the album called “Grandpa’s Christmas Wish.” It begins with Earl sharing all of the children’s wishes for Christmas including a guitar and a typewriter. Then, Will Geer shares what Christmas really means to him. It will truly inspire you this holiday season.

Grandpa Walton shares, “What is Christmas? It is a time when your dreams come true,” I wish to return some of the love that’s been given me,” and, “A spade full of earth is a kingdom in itself.” It is very calming and a great reminder of what Christmas is really about. It is about the love and kindness we share, not the gifts under the tree.
