That's me every year now as well as my birthday, Easter and Thanksgiving. Honestly, this sketch really saddened me but at the same time I honored Redd Foxx for doing this.
This shows a side of him you never saw, his ingenuity & skill he had to put that together with no dialogue was very well done. he was a very smart man in ways you would not have imagined. He could fix things, he was handy while making it look easy.
Truly watching this was very touching and watching Redd Go all out and doing a superb job to say the least I miss him. One of the greatest comedy legends of all time, if I had to pick a couple there's the three stooges Redd Foxx
Love seeing these serious skits…Redd was a tremendous actor and shows his true to life acting here. He did this just once in Sanford and Son, but to see him do this Christmas short, heartwarming and touching. ❤️👑
This isnt just a normal sketch Redd did this for those they were and are going through this he wrote his own script meaning this was most likely something he once done before becoming famous
The character was only hanging on barely and wanted one night to feel festive and maybe remember better times. I imagine he was probably going to put the lights back the next day or so.

That would be me right now.. Merry Christmas Everyone.
It’s me also. Merry Christmas friend.
Make it three. Merry Christmas.
God bless us everyone
That's sad 😢
Loved the homemade Christmas tree. Beautifully scripted and done. RIP, Redd Foxx and Jim Nabors!

I wonder if Redd was able to do that all in a single take?
Sad but beautiful sketch. Well done, Redd Foxx!
Not his usual type of sketch, but definitely worth it ❤️
Oh wow, FINALLY found it - been searching for this for over 15 years... I remember watching this in the late 70's
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GEM!
So glad you found it! Now, save it and watch again at Christmas time ✌️

At least he's not homeless. There's always somebody doing worse than you.
Very sad scene
Man even on Christmas hes out stealing lights he deserves to be alone.
Stupid comment.
YOU deserve to be alone😡
You're more clueless than that 90s movie. Stick to South Park and Friends
Nah, he only "borrowed" the lights for one night!
