Lunch Break Video: A Sonny and Cher Christmas special that featured their adorable child Chaz Bono
Some people have grainy home movies to remember their childhood by. Then there are people who have network Christmas specials to look back on!
When your parents are Cher and Sonny Bono, television is a part of your childhood as was the case with a little girl named Chastity who went on to become a man named Chaz Bono.
I cannot look at any photos or video of Chaz now and not think about what he was going through inside. Even back then, he said he always wanted to wear clothes like his dad’s, not his mom.
This video is from a 1976 Sonny and Cher Christmas special which would mean the famous couple was already divorced but still working together. Cher, at that time, was married to Gregg Allman and had given birth to their son Elijah Blue Allman who also makes a brief appearance here.

I remember watching Chaz on his parents’ first series, when he was brought out for the close each week. How I wished we could change places. While it’s sad to know that, even then, he was confused about his orientation, how wonderful it is to know that he is at last on the road to happiness.
Thanks again for your wonderful posts. My best wishes to you for a joyous holiday weekend.
