I remember the family sitting around the large console radio
after dinner on a Sunday night listening to these shows...

As a kid at Christmas wishing to get a new horse statue or a cuddly stuffed animal toy, we were brought up to be grateful and taught not to be asking for things.

I do remember the year I was wishing for the Easy bake oven (it was the first year it came out) I was so surprised and thankful when I received this gift. Many times I got a new party dress and dress shoes that was a big deal too, and always thankful.
