of us will spend Christmas Eve with our families and friends.
But since her family is too far away to visit
(02:15):
and her friends have other plans, I'm afraid Armis Brooks,
w teaches English at Madison High School, won't be quite
so fortunate. In fact, I can see her now trimming
a tiny little tree in the living room of the
modest cottage she shares with Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's quite a nice tree, Connie.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It isn't really Missus Davis, but it's all I could afford.
What did you pay for it? I found it in
the vacant lot. What I like about it is the size.
It's not too big or too small, it's just too small.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So I can hardly believe it's Christmas again, Tonnie. I
love to stay here and celebrate Christmas Eve with you,
but I promise my sister Angela I come over to
her plate. I'd asked you to join me, but Angela
hasn't been too well lately.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Missus Davis. I'll just
spend a quiet evening at home here.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But how about mister Boyton. Don't tell me he was
too shy to ask you for a date on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Why do you think there's mistletoe on all four walls?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Mister Boynan asked me, all right, but then he.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Canceled yesterday, said he's going upstate to visit his folks
for a couple of days. But don't worry about me,
Missus Davis. I'll have a gay time. I'll listen to
the radio, read and from this window I can see
our neighbor's television antenna.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But what about the little gifts you've got for Walter
Denton and mister missus Conklin and Harriet When you're going
to deliver them?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh? They told me not to bother. They said we'd
exchange on the twenty sixth. What's that, Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's Naneva. Where are you, dear?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh, she's over by the tree here over a Minerva.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Isn't it the strangest thing? How she fights at the
pine needles? Well, I got to run along.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Now, Dear, stop drinking those pine needles. Minerva, come on
over here. That's a good kiddy. Now, I'll just settle
down in Missus Davis's rocker and we'll have ourselves a
nice quiet rock I've got to exercise more. My bones
(04:32):
are rusting. Oh it's the rocker kind of soothing at that?
You seem contented enough, Minerva. There's the night before Christmas,
and all through the house not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse. Or I'm I didn't mean to
(04:57):
upset you.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Hmm see, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Who can that be? Respecting anyone the nervous? That's funny.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Nobody's here.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Well I'm here where? Oh, leaning on my knees? What
can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Or I'm a salesman, but I don't believe in giving
any sales.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Talkers sob stories all I do.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Is tell you what I'm selling if you want to buy.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, it's not okay, okay, what are you selling?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Well, it's Christmas even I'm just a small urch and
a little on the underprivileged side, and I'm trying to
make a few dollars to get some wood to heat
our tiny apartments. So the wash she's singing to my
three six sisters. My mother's lips don't turn blue.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
That's what I like. No stob stories. If you're selling handkerchiefs,
I'll take sick.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Well, no, man, I'm selling Christmas trees. Well they're only
a dollar apiece.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But I've already got a tree.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Well then i'll make it fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I really don't need about a quarter, or it can
be arranged.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Please take.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
These aren't ordinary trees.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
You know they're magic magic, Yes, ma'am, you'd be surprised
to what miracles that happened to you if you buy one.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, a quarter isn't too much to pay for a miracle.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Well it's fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I thought you said twenty five.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Well that's when he sounded tougher to sell.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Well before I melt down to my coal buttons on
the stove five half, here's fifty cents.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Well you won't be sorry, ma'am. Well here's a little tree.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Hey, this is kind of cute to that. But do
you like to come in and help me set it up? Well?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I've got to get ride home. My sitter's been alone
long enough.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You're a sitter. What about your mother and the firewood?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Oh not just a rude.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Pine, my folks, you're tending a dinner. These other bank
presidents you're giving for father, Well, good night, lady, and
merry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
The same to you, you little underprivileged millionaires. I'll put
this tree over here. Maybe we can find some extra
trimmings for it in the morning. Minerva, would you stop
gnawing on those pine needles? I wish I knew what
made them so appetizing to her? Oh fine, now you
(07:37):
come over here and let those things alone. Now get
on my lap. There we are. Well, I guess I'm
not the only one that's spending Christmas Eve alone without
family or friends that who can tell? Maybe Santa Claus
has something up these big red sleeve that I don't
even know about yet.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Of course I do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I have a squeaky Rocker and Minerva jingle bells, jingle
bells and mary stuff like that. Oh what fun it
is too rock with a big fat drunken cat.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Something wonderful could happen to Miss Brooks this Christmas. It's
happened before. I mean the day she first tried Deep Magic,
the wonderful new facial cleansing lotion that cleans your skin
up to three times cleaner than soaps are creams and
protects your skin against cold winter weather's damage. Deep Magic
is completely different. It's a lannelin gentle flowing lotion cleanser
(08:46):
that flows deeper into your fores and gently removes deep
poor dirt and make up. Other cleansers can't reach. Deep
Magic cleans deep deep down where beauty begins and leaves
behind an invisible protection like nature's own. That's why Deep
Magic keeps your skin soft and smooth even in the
coldest weather. So remember, for gentle deep cleansing and gentle protection,
(09:10):
tried Deep Magic facial cleansing lotions. No other cleansing method
leaves your skin so clean and clear, sooth soft and radiant.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Deep the cleansing lotion that cleans.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Your skin deep deep down where beauty beep In.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
As I sat in the living room Christmas Eve with
Minerva the cat on my lap, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Help noticing that the tree, which I'd bought from that
wealthy urchin, had a rather peculiar luminosity. Although there wasn't
any artificial illumination, it seemed to glow from deep down
in its branches. As I walked back and forth, I
started to get very drowsy. The little boy said.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This tree was magic, butother no, I don't believe it either. Still,
it is Christmas Eve, as your very strange things has
happened on Christmas Eve. Hmm huh, well what's that?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Oh I must have been dozing coming, Well it's Walter.
Doesn't come in, Walter?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
No, well, no Welsh, why you?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Oh no, well, come on into the living room, Walter
thakless rook Here.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I brought you this little gift to put under your tree.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Oh that was very thoughtful, love, you put it under
this tree over here.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Okay, Say you've got the two trees, haven't you.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, one from Minerva and one for me. But I
don't pay any attention to her. She's kine needle happy.
Look Waller, why you're here. You might as well pick
up the little gift I got for you.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Oh but you shouldn't have, miss Brook.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
It's under the tree on your right. It is much
just a remembrance.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh gee, I almost forgot.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I can't open it yet.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Why not? Oh you mean you want to put it
under your tree at home and open it with your family.

human beings. Miss Brooks, I'd like to take advantage of
this visit to inquire us your plans for the coming
year's class work.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Now, please, goodness is no time to talk of school affairs.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
We're here to spend part of our holiday with missus Brooks.
Speaker 4 (13:58):

But I am allergic to you.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Oh. Harriet's almost irresistible sometimes, especially alongside of older women
like missus Conklin and miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Sounds like the bell. I'll get it. Why, mister Boynton,
come in, Thanks, miss Brooks. I thought you were going
Upstates to see your folks.
Speaker 13 (14:38):
I was, but they sent me a wire that they
wanted to come down here for a week or so.
They'll arrive in the morning. So I thought I'd dropped
this little gift off for you tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh, but you shouldn't have.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I just put it under the tree in the living room.
Look who's here, everybody?
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Well, it's mister Boynton. The mis real is nice?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Oh, boydon pretty cold out in the.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Hello, folk, this is beginning to get more like Christmas Eve.
Every minute. Sit down, mister Boynton. Oh, I'm certainly glad
your folks decided to visit you instead of vice versa.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
And missus Brooks.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Have you pointed out the missiletoe is mister Boynton?
Speaker 13 (15:22):
Oh, why don't you stop that nonsense?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Isn't nonsense? Mister Boynton?
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Look at the missilete mistletoe?
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Oh yes, you're a very interesting example of the flora
found in various areas throughout the globe. An evergreen parasitic shrub.
It is indigenous to the regions where apple trees and
oaks abound.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now that the.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Lecture is over, may we ask questions? Certainly, miss Brooks,
I'm a stand under it.
Speaker 13 (15:57):
Well, you see, because of a certain characteristiction, its makeup
and allergy is sometimes aggravated by its president.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I'll take a chance if you will. Come on, mister
boy Come on, mister Boytan just bring him over to
this wall here.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I'll get Andrea if you like.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well, don't just stand there.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Can't you see Miss Brooks is cooking.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Don't fuss for me.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
I couldn't eat a thing.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Mister Bourne. Don't you know what's standing under the mistletoe signifies?
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Well, I know what it signifies to most people.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
But come in, he p, Well, there goes eighty five
cents worth of mistletoe on.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Of course, then we came in a moment. It can't
be a merry Christmas or a happy New Year either
if you marrit with accidents. So leave the dreaming to
Armis Brooks and keep your head nailed on tight during
this hectic holiday season. CBS Radio wishes you the merriest
of ules and a happy, healthy nineteen fifty six. But
(17:18):
you've got to make it all come true yourself. Driving,
drive carefully. Holiday accidents are the most tragic of all
the most humorous too. By the way, walking walk with care,
cross only at intersections and with the lights jaywalkers are
really inviting trouble during the holiday season because drivers are
more apt to be preoccupied with their own problems these days,
(17:40):
less apt to avoid colliding with them if they're in
the way. We don't want to sound a somber node
in this holiday season, but maybe this reminder will help
while listeners survive fifty five. Remember during the season of
traditional visiting out safety first second, and always at home,
out on foot, out driving in all your holiday season.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
For que.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well, my anticipation of a lonely Christmas Eve at home
was delightfully dispelled by the arrival of my friends on
Christmas Eve. I was even willing to include mister Conklin
in this group.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Say I know what let's do. Let's open up the
presents right now.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Tell lendid suggestion Walter, shouldn't we wait until just before
we leave? Might be less embarrassing that way.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, if you want to open them now, go right
to way. This one tree is pretty crowded.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
I'll put some of these packages under this little one
over here, goush, I got the funniest feeling when I
touched that branch.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
What kind of a feeling, Walter?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Well, say you're Harriet Coughlin, aren't you wait?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
John, I'm Harriet Conklor.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
What's the matter with you? Nothing, nothing's the matter with me.
It's just that I want to tell.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
You something, Harriet.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
You've got to change.

got to be more alluring, beautiful, glamorous kaminins in that
real feline group way water.

of us will spend Christmas Eve with our families and friends.
But since her family is too far away to visit
(02:15):
and her friends have other plans, I'm afraid Armis Brooks,
w teaches English at Madison High School, won't be quite
so fortunate. In fact, I can see her now trimming
a tiny little tree in the living room of the
modest cottage she shares with Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's quite a nice tree, Connie.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
It isn't really Missus Davis, but it's all I could afford.
What did you pay for it? I found it in
the vacant lot. What I like about it is the size.
It's not too big or too small, it's just too small.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So I can hardly believe it's Christmas again, Tonnie. I
love to stay here and celebrate Christmas Eve with you,
but I promise my sister Angela I come over to
her plate. I'd asked you to join me, but Angela
hasn't been too well lately.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Missus Davis. I'll just
spend a quiet evening at home here.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But how about mister Boyton. Don't tell me he was
too shy to ask you for a date on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Why do you think there's mistletoe on all four walls?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Mister Boynan asked me, all right, but then he.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Canceled yesterday, said he's going upstate to visit his folks
for a couple of days. But don't worry about me,
Missus Davis. I'll have a gay time. I'll listen to
the radio, read and from this window I can see
our neighbor's television antenna.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
But what about the little gifts you've got for Walter
Denton and mister missus Conklin and Harriet When you're going
to deliver them?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh? They told me not to bother. They said we'd
exchange on the twenty sixth. What's that, Missus Davis.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's Naneva. Where are you, dear?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh, she's over by the tree here over a Minerva.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Isn't it the strangest thing? How she fights at the
pine needles? Well, I got to run along.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Now, Dear, stop drinking those pine needles. Minerva, come on
over here. That's a good kiddy. Now, I'll just settle
down in Missus Davis's rocker and we'll have ourselves a
nice quiet rock I've got to exercise more. My bones
(04:32):
are rusting. Oh it's the rocker kind of soothing at that?
You seem contented enough, Minerva. There's the night before Christmas,
and all through the house not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse. Or I'm I didn't mean to
(04:57):
upset you.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Hmm see, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Who can that be? Respecting anyone the nervous? That's funny.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Nobody's here.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Well I'm here where? Oh, leaning on my knees? What
can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Or I'm a salesman, but I don't believe in giving
any sales.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Talkers sob stories all I do.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Is tell you what I'm selling if you want to buy.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, it's not okay, okay, what are you selling?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Well, it's Christmas even I'm just a small urch and
a little on the underprivileged side, and I'm trying to
make a few dollars to get some wood to heat
our tiny apartments. So the wash she's singing to my
three six sisters. My mother's lips don't turn blue.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
That's what I like. No stob stories. If you're selling handkerchiefs,
I'll take sick.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Well, no, man, I'm selling Christmas trees. Well they're only
a dollar apiece.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But I've already got a tree.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Well then i'll make it fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I really don't need about a quarter, or it can
be arranged.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Please take.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
These aren't ordinary trees.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
You know they're magic magic, Yes, ma'am, you'd be surprised
to what miracles that happened to you if you buy one.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, a quarter isn't too much to pay for a miracle.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Well it's fifty cents.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I thought you said twenty five.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Well that's when he sounded tougher to sell.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Well before I melt down to my coal buttons on
the stove five half, here's fifty cents.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Well you won't be sorry, ma'am. Well here's a little tree.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Hey, this is kind of cute to that. But do
you like to come in and help me set it up? Well?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I've got to get ride home. My sitter's been alone
long enough.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You're a sitter. What about your mother and the firewood?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Oh not just a rude.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Pine, my folks, you're tending a dinner. These other bank
presidents you're giving for father, Well, good night, lady, and
merry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
The same to you, you little underprivileged millionaires. I'll put
this tree over here. Maybe we can find some extra
trimmings for it in the morning. Minerva, would you stop
gnawing on those pine needles? I wish I knew what
made them so appetizing to her? Oh fine, now you
(07:37):
come over here and let those things alone. Now get
on my lap. There we are. Well, I guess I'm
not the only one that's spending Christmas Eve alone without
family or friends that who can tell? Maybe Santa Claus
has something up these big red sleeve that I don't
even know about yet.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Of course I do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I have a squeaky Rocker and Minerva jingle bells, jingle
bells and mary stuff like that. Oh what fun it
is too rock with a big fat drunken cat.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Something wonderful could happen to Miss Brooks this Christmas. It's
happened before. I mean the day she first tried Deep Magic,
the wonderful new facial cleansing lotion that cleans your skin
up to three times cleaner than soaps are creams and
protects your skin against cold winter weather's damage. Deep Magic
is completely different. It's a lannelin gentle flowing lotion cleanser
(08:46):
that flows deeper into your fores and gently removes deep
poor dirt and make up. Other cleansers can't reach. Deep
Magic cleans deep deep down where beauty begins and leaves
behind an invisible protection like nature's own. That's why Deep
Magic keeps your skin soft and smooth even in the
coldest weather. So remember, for gentle deep cleansing and gentle protection,
(09:10):
tried Deep Magic facial cleansing lotions. No other cleansing method
leaves your skin so clean and clear, sooth soft and radiant.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Deep the cleansing lotion that cleans.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Your skin deep deep down where beauty beep In.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
As I sat in the living room Christmas Eve with
Minerva the cat on my lap, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Help noticing that the tree, which I'd bought from that
wealthy urchin, had a rather peculiar luminosity. Although there wasn't
any artificial illumination, it seemed to glow from deep down
in its branches. As I walked back and forth, I
started to get very drowsy. The little boy said.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This tree was magic, butother no, I don't believe it either. Still,
it is Christmas Eve, as your very strange things has
happened on Christmas Eve. Hmm huh, well what's that?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Oh I must have been dozing coming, Well it's Walter.
Doesn't come in, Walter?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
No, well, no Welsh, why you?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Oh no, well, come on into the living room, Walter
thakless rook Here.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I brought you this little gift to put under your tree.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Oh that was very thoughtful, love, you put it under
this tree over here.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Okay, Say you've got the two trees, haven't you.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes, one from Minerva and one for me. But I
don't pay any attention to her. She's kine needle happy.
Look Waller, why you're here. You might as well pick
up the little gift I got for you.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Oh but you shouldn't have, miss Brook.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
It's under the tree on your right. It is much
just a remembrance.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh gee, I almost forgot.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I can't open it yet.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Why not? Oh you mean you want to put it
under your tree at home and open it with your family.
Speaker 7 (11:39):

There they are now, I'll answer it.
Speaker 4 (11:44):

Oh now, Motha, don't embarrass me.
Speaker 7 (12:40):

Speaker 4 (13:28):

Speaker 12 (13:38):
Now, let's stop this romantic dribble and act like adult
human beings. Miss Brooks, I'd like to take advantage of
this visit to inquire us your plans for the coming
year's class work.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Now, please, goodness is no time to talk of school affairs.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
We're here to spend part of our holiday with missus Brooks.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It was very nice of you to think about me,
missus Conklin, It was nice of all of you. I
really were, O Walder and Harriet.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
Dendon get my daughter away from that missile todd one.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Mister Conklin.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Harriet isn't allergic to Mischel Toll No.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But I am allergic to you.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Oh. Harriet's almost irresistible sometimes, especially alongside of older women
like missus Conklin and miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Sounds like the bell. I'll get it. Why, mister Boynton,
come in, Thanks, miss Brooks. I thought you were going
Upstates to see your folks.
Speaker 13 (14:38):
I was, but they sent me a wire that they
wanted to come down here for a week or so.
They'll arrive in the morning. So I thought I'd dropped
this little gift off for you tonight.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh, but you shouldn't have.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I just put it under the tree in the living room.
Look who's here, everybody?
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Well, it's mister Boynton. The mis real is nice?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Oh, boydon pretty cold out in the.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Hello, folk, this is beginning to get more like Christmas Eve.
Every minute. Sit down, mister Boynton. Oh, I'm certainly glad
your folks decided to visit you instead of vice versa.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
And missus Brooks.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Have you pointed out the missiletoe is mister Boynton?
Speaker 13 (15:22):
Oh, why don't you stop that nonsense?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Isn't nonsense? Mister Boynton?
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Look at the missilete mistletoe?
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Oh yes, you're a very interesting example of the flora
found in various areas throughout the globe. An evergreen parasitic shrub.
It is indigenous to the regions where apple trees and
oaks abound.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now that the.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Lecture is over, may we ask questions? Certainly, miss Brooks,
I'm a stand under it.
Speaker 13 (15:57):
Well, you see, because of a certain characteristiction, its makeup
and allergy is sometimes aggravated by its president.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I'll take a chance if you will. Come on, mister
boy Come on, mister Boytan just bring him over to
this wall here.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I'll get Andrea if you like.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well, don't just stand there.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Can't you see Miss Brooks is cooking.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Don't fuss for me.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
I couldn't eat a thing.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Mister Bourne. Don't you know what's standing under the mistletoe signifies?
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Well, I know what it signifies to most people.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
But come in, he p, Well, there goes eighty five
cents worth of mistletoe on.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Of course, then we came in a moment. It can't
be a merry Christmas or a happy New Year either
if you marrit with accidents. So leave the dreaming to
Armis Brooks and keep your head nailed on tight during
this hectic holiday season. CBS Radio wishes you the merriest
of ules and a happy, healthy nineteen fifty six. But
(17:18):
you've got to make it all come true yourself. Driving,
drive carefully. Holiday accidents are the most tragic of all
the most humorous too. By the way, walking walk with care,
cross only at intersections and with the lights jaywalkers are
really inviting trouble during the holiday season because drivers are
more apt to be preoccupied with their own problems these days,
(17:40):
less apt to avoid colliding with them if they're in
the way. We don't want to sound a somber node
in this holiday season, but maybe this reminder will help
while listeners survive fifty five. Remember during the season of
traditional visiting out safety first second, and always at home,
out on foot, out driving in all your holiday season.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
For que.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well, my anticipation of a lonely Christmas Eve at home
was delightfully dispelled by the arrival of my friends on
Christmas Eve. I was even willing to include mister Conklin
in this group.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Say I know what let's do. Let's open up the
presents right now.
Speaker 10 (18:25):
Tell lendid suggestion Walter, shouldn't we wait until just before
we leave? Might be less embarrassing that way.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, if you want to open them now, go right
to way. This one tree is pretty crowded.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
I'll put some of these packages under this little one
over here, goush, I got the funniest feeling when I
touched that branch.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
What kind of a feeling, Walter?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Well, say you're Harriet Coughlin, aren't you wait?
Speaker 5 (18:58):
John, I'm Harriet Conklor.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
What's the matter with you? Nothing, nothing's the matter with me.
It's just that I want to tell.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
You something, Harriet.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
You've got to change.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
You want to try to be more like miss Brooks.

It's when you mean water.

If you want me to stay interested in you, you've
got to be more alluring, beautiful, glamorous kaminins in that
real feline group way water.
