Holli, the Bakers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson Felt Polishing, Blowcoast Present Peber
McKee and Bali written by Don Quinn with music by Billy Mills Orchestra and featuring
Tonight a very special musical score written by Ken Darby, Arranger and director of
the King's Men. It opens with who if there were any instrument like a
thermometer for measuring increased activity and the household and buckle around the house, it
would certainly kick over the traces in this week before Christmas that was shopping and
cooking and trimming and being an air raid warden. Besides, there's certainly lots
to be done. But in spite of how busy you are, you still
want your home to look at best for the holidays. Have you ever got
to think how useful wax is at such a time? Truth, there's if
your floor, furniture and woodwork have been regularly protected with genuine Johnson's wax,
that special holiday cleaning can be done in short order. A quick dusting and
polishing, a touch up with wax where needed, and your rooms are blowing
with metal beauty, ready for the visits of your family and friends. For
over fifty years, Johnson's wax has helped brighten homes at the Christmas season.
Why the fuck it is nice before Christmas? And all through the House of
seventy nine went for Vista. Not a creature was study except Biter McGhee and
Molly Gee. I don't like the same reputations, But how don't you better
get your Christmas shopping done? Christmas shopping, Christmas shopping, Christmas shoping.
Every year the same thing makes me sick. Yeah, I know, deary,
we go through this every year. What do you mean you hollands down
in the day before Christmas? Is spirit gets you like a baseball there and
you do everything but grow beards and climb down chimney ways. Christmas is getting
too commercial. It's getting some more. Sure, we already have rubber stands
made for this whole conversation. What do you mean again? Well, every
year you say Christmas is getting too commercial, and every year I have to
scold you for spending too much. To me, I just spend one.
I have to get by that ball. I go along with a mob.
It ain't any beautiful us. Hide parts with me, baby, all go
on, get to my eyes. If I spend any go. It just
becomes the easiest way out. I'm listening to you. You're a fraud,
You're a bony okay, you're so scared somebody who pay life you're sent them
out of you act like a dead and kid. Whole thing a lot of
tapaoka. I wouldn't give a half hearted and half attack if I never saw
what you got there. This is the mail that came this morning. It's
mostly just Christmas cards. I sure you wouldn't be in dressed. They're just
the same old Christmas malarkey? What do you mean? Malarkey? Don't you
realize people have gone to a lot of time and trouble. Was there any
other males? Just a couple of deals? Incidentally, what's this item on
the Bontown deal for one Mama doll? Eight dollars and a half Mama dolls?
Now listen, don't try. It looks so innocent. Not that I
mind. You're playing with jobs if they made out of plaster. But you
certainly didn't buy this one for me, did you? No? I bought
that for the little girl across the street. Oh I think that's very sweet.
It was not sweet. I'm giving it to the little test as a
bribe to stay out of my life. It's strange how much she annoyed you,
isn't it. I never saw such a little nuisance, always button in
where she ain't wanted. I know you hate her so much that last year
you gave her two dollars Valentine. You gave her a white rabbit freeze drink
who willis, took her to the circus twice, spent three days fixing her
tricycle, and you did card tricks through her bedroom window when she had the
mom. Well, that don't mean I like her, does it, doesn't
it? No, that was an old Valentine that had been kicking around here
for years. I gave her that rabbit because I thought it would annoy her
old man. I fixed her tricycle so she could go someplace else besides around
here. And I took her to the circus because they always give kids better
seats than they do grown ups. And I was taking advantage of her helpless
condition to practice my car tricks. She never caught on. I know I
was doing it all for her. Come off it, dear, You're not
fooling anybody. I ain't trying to fool anybody. All I'm saying is that
Christmas has lost its meaning. It's got some people know. Come in,
hello, mom, high as Kim. Well, if it ain't goody Mill,
the poor man Sascanini, Hell on this meal, come on in with
him, my boy. Hang your hat on a hickory limb, and don't
go near the piano. What's confusic with the music? Kids just doped in
to wish you were merry Christmas. I'm merry Christmas. Black. What's merry
about it? Walk your wedge. He's off in the slush to find a
lot of junk for a few mugs that won't appreciate it. Hanging a ton
of gee gaws on a pine tree that looks better in the woods. Scratch
your hands all up on a handful of holly to hang in the window so
you can stick yourself in the eye with it when you look out to watch
the mail man's breaking it back. I've got a sack full of silly Christmas
cards. Merry Christmas, blind and a happy New Year. Well, thank
you, mister Mills. The same to you, And don't say any attention
to the gee. You know he goes through this act every year he's got
those. Don't wrap up that packet? Christmas is just a racket, Blue.
I don't worry, mom, I can read him like a book.
What book? He's a mystery, a prey novel character, fine type two,
one of the lower keises. Somebody ought to borrow him and not bring
him back. Maybe we could arrange with the book of the month club job
for him as a special PREMI layoff. Well, yes, even if the
rig was as prime as you think. This is a needless day. Ever
played the bagpipe? Chalfred? And don't call me Alfred? Okay, y'all
have to played the bag life. I don't think he ever did. Mister
Mills, do you think he could? Sure got a head start? Take
bag of winds? All he needs is a clue. Well, gotta be
gone all ry Christmas again? I oh the same to you, Oscar LOSAs?
Who's this? What's all the rush? Oh? I gotta drop in
and see my mother in law. She's a w ol Oh you mean absent
without leave? No, I wander out of locke right, didn't he a
wonderful band leader? McGhee, uh, band leader Mike Clavigor. I think
all of'em are just a bunch of fakers myself. You ever see a
musician looking at the leader. No, they don't know whether he's beaten out
a march, a polka, a waltz, or just swatting fly. Well
them what keeps them together that check at the end of the week, confidentially
one of them guys for oh ah, probably somebody else coming into wish you
to merry Christmas, when all they really want to see is if you ever
got those new curtains for the dining room. I didn't. In the same
thing, come in, hikay, Oh now this is all I needed,
says, Why don't you take your little sledge and go out on the pond
in the park. Oh there isn't any eyes. Yes, I know,
I see. Don't be like that. If you were young once yourself,
you know, Oh I wasn't that young this long. Be very tactful with
him today, little girl. You know his Christmas spirit is later than usual
this year. Oh dog gone is The whole thing is a very police arrangement.
Why the idea having Christmas come right in the middle of the holidays,
the news? Why don't everybody is their busiest? It's ridiculous. I got
business to see you about? Yeah? Do you like to hear chilling sing
Christmas? Cow? Oh? Sis? There's nothing I love more than to
have a little group of childish voices stand outside my window and black their melodious
little brain, particularly if I ain't home that night. Well, gay mischief,
I got my whole gang outside and they're apple anxious to see you a
Christmas town and I so well, I don't like to hear Christmas Carol's butchered
by a bunch of kids. I'll can anybody sing good standing hip deep in
a snow drift with a muffler over their face, wondering how many fingers and
colds they'll have left when they get home, if they ever do. Oh,
maybe you're still mad on the kind of last year? Hm? I
your minsters and are you no? I'm not. That has nothing to do
with it. What's this? What happened last year that I don't know about?
Oh? Nothing? She us kids were going around saying Christmas Carol,
and then never mind says that that thing she mister McGee came. I'll never
mind. I'll never mind. Give the kid a cookie, Molly, imagine
she's kind of hungry, he says. Oh, gee, thanks mischief anyway,
mister McGee came up. All we told you nobody was in that.
Let's just drop the whole checking what kind of a cookie? You want?
Any kind? Thanks? And I go ask him out. Well, i'll
see a question. And I listen what happened with the Christmas carols here?
And mister McGee came on all behind you put that off, and he's on
that thing while it's any one. We heard him sing. We didn't want
him to me, so that's all it tells gee. We couldn't get rid
of him. And he kept trashing and people's dropping jars and all. It
was awful. And when the plans tried the celebra in center, but it
did just standy and and he said, gkid, you're killed. How do
you like to be a princess? And she said, oh boy? And
I testimonials for cold creams and they got married and lived happy ever after.
You want to hear an alone met you all once? Oh lord, that's
no sense. Thanks anyway, you told me at least fourteen. Are you
sure you don't want to hear anymore? I'm positive? Sis? Okay,
then jump my lap? Well everly, daisy gee, what are you trying
to do crush the child. Nah, she wanted to pretend I was her
little boy and tell me some stories. Now I know why they call them
Grim's very dance. That's the Grimmer's half hour I ever spent my life,
go gee, I thought was fun? Oh you did well? Personally,
I'd rather lie down with a good book under my head and go to sleep.
Can't you do think of any more games to play? I'm rich,
I am Harvey, fine of what's well? I could bring my own playmates
and I we could sing you some Christmas carol. The must be pretty tall,
I say, I don't want to hear any Christmas carrots. Christmas carols
are beautiful music. Hear your little mob a half pint theftcats slaughter would ruin
my day. Very thought of those kindergarten can trawl. Those drives me to
drink. Get me some root beery, will your molly? Yeah? Me
say miss yous? Play starting? Shall I? How do you play that?
Well? First you give me a well, maybe about three dollars and
change. Huh, give you three bucks? A take? What is this?
First eat two dozen cookies? And then you want to borrow three bucks.
You're trying to put the bite on the hand to feed you. Oh
DearS, lots of fun, mister. First, we post a lot of
ceiling. I don't want to buy a ceiling. We got one. It's
a different mischief our star papers. I gotta called ceiling prices so people won't
have to pay too much for stuff, and it keeps the cost of living
down a reasonable level, and the prices won't go pig wild. It's bob
wild. You know your own habit's best nos. Anyway, we gotta keep
prices from getting our hands for the merchandise that's getting scared. So after the
wall, we won't have inflation. And you see, hey, yeah,
aren't you getting a little out of your death sis? What do you know
about economics? Oh my daddy told me. Yeah, we had a little
height to night talk ras Nigi and night. Oh yeah, he says.
I'm at the hry and know certain things like not paying ten cents for a
lollipop that's truth only five, because then I'm betting against somebody that can only
pay five cents for lollipop size. Spend the next time, Negro, it
all to go to the war burn, which you'll help pay for the war
and give me the next chicken afterwards. You mean a nest egg by that
time, Harvey, a chicken. Well, I'll be that as a may
or, may not be or not says, we won't play store. I
got a better game, miss Gooooby. Did you ever play kanoob on Earth?
It's knooky. Oh, it's a wonderful game. Well, it's like
this. You I'm home, Hide in the closet. You put your hands
over your eyes and count up to seventy nine minutes. By that time,
we'll both be so old we'll have forgotten what we started out to play,
which is the optat of the whole game. Now I'll get your hat and
coat and you'll all fot married Christmas. Oh, hello, little girl.
I haven't got time to stop and talk. Just wanted to leave this little
Christmas gift for Molly. Well, heavenly days, mister Wilcox. You shouldn't.

I think it's something you like. I got one for you too, Junior,
but it ain't wrapped up yet. Oh that's okay. Hell anytime,
Remember Molly, don't open that bag. It's before Christmas, because I want
you to be surprised. I promised, mister Wiltox, Maya's rapped beautifully.
I wrapped it myself especially for you. Shake it, Molly, see the
rattles. I'll bet you that. Of course it wouldn't. I wanted to
be a surprise. You just put it away a little Christmas. Oh,

it because millions your brother housewives do. Because it's so easy to apply and
shine to suprise you're beautiful, mirror like polished in twenty minutes or least,
and say his hours of housework, to say nothing of eliminating old fashioned force
grubbing. And boys, what it does for the looks of your kitchen and
knowhum is amazing. But I won't say anymore. I might give you a
hint. Verry Christmas, all of your I he says, ain't about time

were hung by the chimney and cage in house that set the tea much kills
and learned nasal long tug and there wild visions love sugar farms stands in there
we little thing on my edburg cordion and I am thanks the clatter I fin
when my bed to see what was the matter? Away to the window,
I feel like a plastic open the shutters threw over the side once to my
wonder, think guy, w not hear about a minute to say and a
finny my dear was the long driver so highly INFECTI I knew I was away,
and it must be saint n O bundle and par from his head to
his book pulsandle was covered with I and s. I drew in my head
and was turning around and down a chimney. He came with a bar.
His eyes, how they tinkled, His dimples, how merry. His cheeks
were like clothes, his nose like a cherry. His drown little mouth was
drawn up like a boat. The chicken a big on his kin was as
white as it snow. The stump top little pip he hal tied in his
sea, and so better und his head kind of he was chubby and fussing
f r like chardy old chardy old elf left last that I left for a
time, inspide myself. Monkey had a broad face off a handling round belly.
That's a way laugh like a bolo jelly. Oh, he gave me
a wink of his eye, and the fletted hand a chuckle and smile.
Who wall while had nothing to dread. He spoke of a word, but
went straight to his work and killed all the stocky a mile and turned with
a jerk. I'm laughing of blame on the side of his horn. I'm
giving a lot of the Chimney view. He spang to misslame the team in

I sat for long. Version, ladies and gentlemen, even while we wish
you are merry Christmas, can't help thinking that in many parts of the world
the spirit of goodwill toward men has been made as shame and a mockery.
But there are the other Christmases, and to our men in uniform all over
the world, we send our prayers and our thanks for what they are doing
to restore faith and decency to our work. To them, we say thank
you, and God bless you, and we hope and pray that for next
Christmas comes, there will really be peace on earth. Good Night, good
night all,
