Western Christmas Radio Shows

Spurs are jingling in the in the desert at Christmas time just like Santa's. Not to be out-done by the likes of The Great Gildersleeve or Johnny Dollar,the cowboys of the airwaves celebrated Christmas, too in their own Christmas Westerns way! Dr. Six-Gun and The Six Shooter both celebrated Christmas on the open range and you know that there was a good old time at Gene Autry's Melody Ranch.

With his medical bag on one hip and his six shooter on the other, Dr. Six-Gun made his way across the territory treating people when necessary and taking care of bad guys with his gun when necessary.  At Christmas, the good doctor Ray Matson treats a young boy who is very sick after staying out all night looking for the only thing his family has left of value after his father was killed in a dispute over a watering hole, his families sheep. His grandfather promises him a white pony for Christmas becausehe can't walk. What happens when the grandfather goes looking for a white pony? Will the boy get better?
