The comedy segment is children's letters to Santa Claus, forwarded from the NY General Post Office. Jimmy Stewart talks about his Christmas plans, and discusses his special "Mr. Krueger's Christmas", which he did for the Mormon church; he says the experience of conducting the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was overwhelming. Then he talks about getting a hearing aid. He then reads a poem he wrote about his Super 8 movie camera - from the camera's point of view - which was wrecked by a hyena during a family safari in Kenya. Hodding Carter discusses his former job of being the State Department spokesman, noting the difficulty of withholding sensitive information from the public while attempting as much openness as possible. He notes that he learned of the failed attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages only when a flight attendant expressed her condolences, and says that he accepts the aggressive nature of the press as a necessary factor.
