Fibber McGee and Molly – Making Christmas Cards. ep602, 491206

A black and white photograph of Fibber McGee and Molly, a couple from a popular radio show of the same name. They are standing in front of a closet that has been opened, with clothes and other items spilling out onto the floor. Fibber is holding a mop and wearing an apron, while Molly looks on with a smile on her face. The overall effect is one of humor and domesticity, with the couple's playful antics and cluttered living space providing a snapshot of life in mid-century America in 1948.

It’s the holiday season, and time for Fibber to show off his artistic, creative side. Mayor Latrivia visits to compare artistic notes, and talk about Fibber’s uncle Sycamore. What would be a visit from the mayor without a little tongue twisting fun? Before he can get too upset, he leaves… through the closet. Billy Mills plays, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

As Fibber continues to share his inspirations with Molly, and the cards he’s making for the neighbors, Ole the Janitor visits. They discuss the deep topic of just what finger painters paint, and what Ole is giving his wife for Christmas.

Doc Gamble is the next visitor to interupt , and swap insults with Fibber. With some help from Teeny, the Kingsmen sing, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

As his experiment at homemade Christmas cards reaches maximum messiness, Fibber is interupted by the Old Timer, who tells about a mishap his girlfriend Bessie had at the carnival. Can Molly stop the Christmas card production before it gets worse? Teny drops by to talk about her money making plan to raise spending cash by selling christmas cards. I think it’s just the thing to rescue the house, and Molly’s nerves.
