Great memories of listening to this in the 70's while living in Portland. We all gathered around a 1941 Zenith radio to listen in. I have that radio now and really want to get it working again.

When he put them on audio tape we would always listen to the final episode while driving around looking at xmas lights and staring up at the sky to see if I could see Santa. Pure magic. Well tonight I just played the 1st 3 episodes for my 8yr old daughter and she cannot wait to hear episode 4 to see if they can find the silver star in the root beer ocean!

It's great and I've linked you up to my website for my visitors to enjoy. BTW, do you like listening to music from the 1920s, 1930's 1940s? There's a radio station here in Reno that plays great stuff from that era every Wednesday and Sunday nights that you can listen to online. I highly recommend you tune in. It will become your favorite, I swear! Details with link here: http://tinyurl.com/982364 Thanks for this wonderful story. It’s great and I’ve linked you up to my website for my visitors to enjoy.

Thank you for collecting this information on the Cinnamon Bear. I went searching for it this year because I wanted to share the program with a friend. As a child I looked forward every year to listening to the program. The family would stop everything to turn on the radio and listen. I now live in Wyoming and wondered if the program was available. Thanks again. Merry Christmas. I grew up in Salem, Oregon listening to this radio program on KEX. Thank you for collecting this information on the Cinnamon Bear.

I cannot believe that you have all of these episodes here! I'm 30 years old and grew up listening to this gorgeous Christmas program every year. My mom is huge fan of "old time" radio and she shared it with us as kids. I'm beside myself- this is such a gift. I'm going to play the first few installments for my little girl this weekend. Ohhhh! Thank you! I can recite so much of the story. I got shivers just hearing the announcer's voice. Thank you, again! I just found your blog via The Simple Dollar and I can barely even type I’m so giddy.

My youngest brother always wanted to be the Cinnamon Bear (once he grew up enough to figure out that someone was inside that bear suit at Lipman's). Well, after college, he went to work for what was then the May Company (who had agreed in contract to continue sponsoring the show on radio in Portland), and sure enough, he managed to "become" the Cinnamon Bear.
