Transcript

The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gildest Leave. The Great Gildest Leave is brought to you partially transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company. Kraft, you know, makes Philadelphia brand Cream Cheese, the cream cheese that's been famous for quality since 1880.

Delicious Philadelphia brand is so popular it outsells all other brands of cream cheese combined. Enjoy it often, but remember, there's only one Philadelphia brand cream cheese, and it's made by craft. And you know the world's favorite cheeses are made or imported by craft.

Later on in the show I'll tell you exciting news about the wonderful free offer craft is making. Well, there's no time like Christmas. Yesterday everybody enjoyed the thrill of opening gaily wrap packages and emptying stockings by the fireplace, And since it's the custom to drop in on friends to see what Jolly Old Saint Nick brought,

let's go back a day and see what happened at the great Gilda sleeves house. Right, George, opening presents is fun. Yeah, I'm doing pretty good, huh? Wrapping paper, boxes, ribbon, presents all over the place.

The pattern looks like a department stiller. Why don't we open the presents for saving for last? Oh, Bronco, just like a kid. He is a kid. Yeah, I sure am at Christmas. Your Aunt Bronco will open the last round as soon as Birdie gets the twin set.

This is been a pretty hectic morning port. Uh-huh, weren't they excited? Their eyes were so busy taking in everything. Boy, I can't wait to open this present from Babs. Wow, the twins are asleep! Let's open that last present.

You're just waiting for you, Birdie. You first, Uncle Morris. Me? Yeah, all right. Hey, wait a minute. How about me? But Leroy, you always wanted to open yours last. That was before he had a girl.
