DAY NINETEEN: Cinnamon Bear

Heidi and I were avid radio listeners as children. Our favorite holiday program was... The Cinnamon Bear. First broadcast in the thirties, it was designed to run for six days a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here is the original newspaper ad for the program that ran in the Portland Oregon Journal on November 25, 1937:




Introducing Paddy O'Cinnamon, Santa Claus' right-hand man! Meet him with Santa in Toyland at Lipman's... and don't miss his exciting adventures with Judy and Jimmy (two of the nicest playmates you could want!) over the air every night but Saturday! Early-to-bedders can listen at 6 and stay-up-laters at 7... and some nights you'll be so anxious to hear how they got the Silver Star back from the wicked Crazyquilt Dragon that you'll listen twice! And here's a secret... the Cinnamon Bear is just as excited about meeting you as he can be.
