What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly set out to mail their Christmas packages at the post office, but the errand quickly turns into a long wait. Their neighbor Mr. Gildersleeve arrives with parcels and stamp requests of his own, and an argument about stamp prices follows. In the crowded line, they meet Mrs. Uppington and her pampered dog, a young girl writing to Santa Claus, and a number of other customers. The episode is a 1940 installment of the Fibber McGee and Molly series, broadcast on NBC Radio on December 10, 1940, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan in the cast.
The McGee home at 79 Wistful Vista, and the town post office during the Christmas season.

Listen for: The long line at the post office and the squabble over where to buy stamps.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
