A Hans Christian Andersen Christmas

Is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Who's best? Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Anderson's, brought to you by Maxwell House.

The coffee that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House, always good to the last drop. It was the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Kathy. I'm sorry, Daddy. Oh, Kathy, did you drop another box of ornaments? Well, they slipped. They slipped, did they? Margaret, what's the matter with that child? I asked her to do a perfectly simple little thing.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Please continue. Thank you. Springfield the streets were all covered with snow and lights blinked a path for St. Nicholas below Gods and little fishes now what happened you blew out of fuse dad? Oh, don't be ridiculous How could I do a silly thing like that easy what oh?

I mean well, I said you were putting too many lights on one circuit. Oh you did Well go get a flashlight or a candle or something. How do you expect me to? Oh, I'm awfully sorry. I assure you this wasn't intentional.

Please go ahead. Thank you. Thank you very much. The Anderson's gathered as snug as could be, sat waiting for Father to finish the tree. When out in the hall there rose such a clatter. Oh, hello, Janie. Now we're just trimming the tree.

Who is it, dear? It's only Janie, mother. Well, tell her you call her tomorrow. And come back and hear where you belong. Or do I have to trim the whole tree by myself? I'll call you tomorrow, Janie.
