I was a guest on Conrad Nagels Celebrity Time the other night - along with Herman Hickman, football coach at Yale, and Lou Little, coach at Columbia. Before, during and after the program, all I heard was a discussion of football . . . and Kyle McDonald and I certainly learned a lot of inside stuff.

Hows your Christmas shopping coming? Ive managed to work in some, between rehearsals and program planning meetings and recordings and shows and such . . . and all the stores are getting that Christmassy look which charms the money right out of your pockets before you know it. Before long, the big NBC Christmas tree at Radio City will be up and decorated . . but, somehow, it never gives me the real Christmas feeling that I can get by peeking in the window of a small house in a small town, where the family has a tree of its own.

The theaters have special Christmas productions, with trick scenery, massive orchestras, choruses, dancers, and talented performers . . . but they can never touch the spirit youlll find in the Christmas Eve exercises at the little church just off Main Street. And the most fantastically decorated Christmas tree in the world, painted all colors, carrying thousands of lights and tons of tinsel, can never equal the the charm of a little tree in youF own living room, with a few strings of popcorn the children made themselves.
