I decided to post my proof of the fact that footage of 1952 Christmas Party is on the Great Gleason VHS tape. What I am going to do is post stills of each version of the special. Notice the differences in the set. The first three are from the 1951 version. Followed by the '52 versions and '53 versions.

It's interesting to see the differences. My favorite Christmas themed episode is from the Classic 39.

...this was one of Jackie's favorite Christmas sketches of the early '50s. Sure, who not have all of his famous characters {Joe, Rudy, Fenwick, "The Poor Soul"} "drop in" at the Kramden apartment on Christmas Eve? He first did it on DuMont's "CAVALCADE OF STARS" in December 1951, his first Christmas show on CBS in 1952, and an expanded "full-length" version [with "special guest stars" performing their specialties] in December 1953.
