About this episode
Originally Aired: December 22, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #344, "Listening To Carols," Fibber is in his annual pre-Christmas grumpy mood, complaining loudly that the holiday has become too commercial and meaningless. Despite his protests about the hustle and bustle of shopping, tree trimming, and endless Christmas cards, Molly sees right through his act. She points out how he secretly bought an expensive doll for the little girl across the street, claiming it's just a bribe to keep her away, even though he's clearly shown the child kindness all year long. As visitors drop by to spread holiday cheer, including bandleader Billy Mills, Fibber continues his Scrooge-like routine, grumbling about every aspect of Christmas. When the little girl herself appears at the door with her gang of children ready to sing carols outside in the cold, Fibber's true feelings are about to be tested. Will his crusty exterior finally crack, or will he send the young carolers away into the winter night?
