Gracie Allen Reporting
By Gracie Allen
Well, Christmas is just a week from today. In this country, everything will be “peace on earth, good will toward men.” But for the next few shopping days, it’s every man for himself.
While squeezing through a department store Saturday, I saw several Christmas trees made of rayon. Now I know what they’re making stockings of – Christmas trees. At least the pones I have on feel that way.
Speaking of stockings, it’s going to be a little hard on the bobbysoxers this year, having only those little things to hang up for Santa. Goodness, they’re hardly big enough to hold Sinatra.
Fire department officials in our town have issued a strict warning to amateur Santa Clauses to watch out that their whiskers don’t get singed. George says he isn’t worried so much about his whiskers getting singed – it’s his bank account he’s bothered about.
