Jim and Ann Stafford in the Christmas scene Jim "magically" creates.
“A recent article entitled ‘Special Moments from Branson 2010 Christmas Shows,’ presents a unique view of some of Branson’s Christmas shows,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. The article reports that recently some of the performers and others involved with some of Branson’s most popular Christmas shows were asked if they would share “one of their personal favorite special moments” from their respective 2010 Christmas show.
“The result is a concise and unique view of each on each of the Christmas shows in the article,” said Johnson. “What really makes it neat,” she continued, “Is that, in combination with each other, the total article paints a montage of the breadth of entertainment that Branson’s Christmas shows offer. Where else in America, except in Branson, Missouri, can a person see ‘Mr. Christmas,’ Andy Williams perform his Christmas Show, the spectacular “Miracle of Christmas” presented on a 300 foot surround stage, Tony Orlando and the Lennon Sisters Christmas Celebration and dozens of other quality Christmas shows of every type and variety?”
Johnson goes on to point out that Branson’s shows are just a part of the excitement and spirit of Christmas in Branson. Branson’s Ozark Mountain Christmas is filled with activities and attractions for the whole family such as drive through Christmas light displays, Old Time Christmas at Silver Dollar City and some of the best shopping available anywhere.
Article excerpts:
Jim Stafford Show – Cindy Merry, the marketing consultant for the show, says the moment would be when the Christmas segment starts with the almost magical creation of a beautiful Christmas scene from a bare stage while Jim is singing an original song he wrote, “Oh Boy Its Christmas Time.”
Presleys’ Country Jubilee – Steve Presley said it would be the opening of the Christmas segment with the combination of the message of Christmas and the acoustical rendition of “What Child is This,” because it explains the reason for the season and sets the mood for the whole Christmas segment.
