0 days to go - A Christmas Day message from our sponsors…

Bedford Falls at last. It’s been a long journey and there were times when I wondered if we’d make it. Train whistles, anchor chains, and plane motors – the three most exciting sounds in the world… but at the end of the day we all return to Bedford Falls don’t we.

Look, there’s Mr Martini’s Bar, the Toll House where we dried off, the New Building and Loan (poor Uncle Billy), old Gower’s Drugs (I’ll have a chocolate sasprilila), the Bijou Theatre, the Trust and Savings Bank (damn you Potter), the Sentinel offices, the Tiptop Café, Bailey Park, and finally home - 320 Sycamore. Throw a rock and make a wish… and what’s this in my pocket? Zuzu’s petals? Yes, Zuzu’s petals!!

Strange isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?

He sure does. Wish I had a million dollars. Hot dog! Yep, we came through and here we are in Bedford Falls again. It’s been a long and interesting year, quite a journey. Thanks for travelling with me and a Merry Christmas to you all my friends. Remember: no man is a failure who has friends. Hee-Haw!

And maybe next year I'll give you the moon.

P.S. Attaboy, Clarence!

    Merry Christmas Mr Height. Long may you continue to be the foil for my (tortured) jokes and keep up the blogging it is wonderfully observational and occasionally brings a lump to my throat.

    Andrew Height You know Lee, strange isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?
