When radio was. Brought to you by radio spirits dot com. We opened with the signing of the famous early 20th century humorist as Will Rogers Jr stars in Rogers of the Gazette and later is Fanny Brice as baby snow. Will Rogers Jr was attending college at Stanford University when his famous father was killed in a $935.00 plane crash after graduation he would work as a publisher for the Beverly Hills Citizen newspaper and he also joined the military during World War 2 And while he was on active duty he was elected to the u.s. House of Representatives from California he would resign about 16 months later though and returned to active duty where Rogers was wounded in action during the war and he also was awarded the Bronze Star he later dabbled in acting from time to time including leading this very radio series you know we're joined by parley there is Dr Clements and George Alice as Maggie button obsolescent for Sam Edwards Helen Klee Mary McGovern and Sammy hill in the series only Christmas episode which is from December 23rd $953.00 ladies and gentlemen the etiquette of the year may only take effect if the real rat is Junior thank you sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't all have a better chance of keeping the season happy and merry if we bear in mind that there's a distinct difference between Christmas spirit and Christmas spirit. Roger because that offering you again friends another heartwarming story of a country whose neighbor and friendly editor. Will Rogers you and your. You. Know I'm not blaming the printer will well the suspense is over we're going to have a white Christmas in the Laris it'd take a spring thaw to melt the snow we've got right now and we're a cinch to have more I haven't checked with the weather man but Hazel Burrows tricked me predict snow with unfailing accuracy and she just flashed me the bullets and. Guess there's nothing much prettier than a small town like a lariat drifted white with snow with smoke from warm bars curling out of chimneys and bright Christmas lights shine in the windows. That's if you belong to those warm bars and Christmas lights but if you're a stranger in your cold I'm hungry and frightened. Sometime that's quite another story. You sure it's hard for me to go well Germany you run along I don't want to leave it in front of the light wire I'm going to stand later have takes to finish the story I'll wait for you to go shouting Let me watch the stores are open tonight yeah yeah I'm going home with some of the finest This. The the I'm going to make me a big dinner now after that I'm going to put my foot up for the farm maybe read or maybe just watched for a while but I'm going to bet though going like a man it is Christmas shopping now I know I haven't even started oh that's terrible when you're going to do it all sometime between now and Christmas I've been giving a lot of thought just can't seem to come up with any bright idea what it's getting so late why don't you quit waiting for bright ideas and just settle for ideas I may have to the thing is I don't want to give people things they need for Christmas you gotta give the things that don't me no I don't mean it that way I mean well take Doc for instance he probably needs socks maybe hankers for a pipe or something like that I'd rather give him the pipe than the socks and I'm glad you feel that way because I need stockings but I hanker for a convertible in the next year that my. Power here. Gets up Maggie. We're not Maggie Mr o.

Only pretty soon it's going to be Christmas I promise franzi would make it to Kansas City for Christmas and mother's there now there's time with a few breaks you can still make it I guess I sound on grateful but I'm not.

As for what did she do I'm not at all sure not at all sure I must be pretty terrible I can't bring yourself to come right out and fire Mr Rogers Believe me I'm trying to say I'm trying to say it with all my might and main it rather delicate I'll try to begin at the beginning start anywhere Miss Harvey Well for some years now it's been my custom to have my class rest a little paragraph or so either about the Christmas season itself or and what they'd like to have for Christmas I do this for 2 reasons one it's good trading to set Young thought down on paper and to quite frankly it's my little safety valve on pre-holiday me him. Over what Jill wrote that almost bothering him is Harvey why don't you just pass it to me under the desk oh how I would love to do just that unfortunately in a fit of sheer shock I stuffed the whole lot of the papers into the incinerator how well or where do we go from where I memorized what Jill wrote Believe me I would like to strike it from my memory for all time but I'm afraid it's etched there indelibly.
