The Little Girl in the Yellow Dress

Throughout the years, my mom has periodically spoken of a Christmas special she remembers loving one year when she was a little girl, called "The Little Girl in the Yellow Dress."  She's looked for it ever since but never come across it, and she had begun to wonder if perhaps she was somehow mixed up about it or was remembering the name incorrectly.  I don't know why I had never thought to Google it before, but last night when we were talking about it, I said I'd Google it in the morning.  Well, she couldn't sleep and beat me to it.  And lo and behold, there it was on the internet in its entirety.  "The Little Girl in the Yellow Dress" originated as a Christmas story written by a Detroit News columnist in 1937 -- the narration of which soon became a tradition on Detroit radio.  And so, with my mom happily reunited with the Christmas special she remembers from childhood (having never read a Nicholas Sparks book, I like to think of this reuniting as a Nicholas Sparks book but with a Christmas special rather than a man...), I present, for your Christmas listening (because in today's world of 3D movies and iPads, everyone should close their eyes, engage their imaginations, and listen to a radio show once in a while), "The Little Girl in the Yellow Dress":
