WGN at Christmas

In the early 80's WGN would run the Suzy Snowflake cartoon every morning. It would get us all excited about Christmas and cold weather.  They would also show a clip from Holiday Inn. It's interesting to find other people who used to feel the same away when they'd catch these on WGN.

A snowflake was seen in Del Rio, Tx in 1973 but that was it. WGN would provide a portal to the world  (pre-cable and Internet days) beyond Texas where snow fell and the night was lit with the lights we saw on the Nightbeat intro. Chicago was this awesome and glamorous place. They had a lotto, several fun kid's parks and Bozo was always giving away tons of cool toys. Our local television stations had nothing. Just Captain Gus and he was so "meh" compared to the Bozo Show.  A DVD of the WGN  cartoons was released recently and sold out fast.

Austin gets it's first hard freeze and it's predicted to last Thursday-Saturday! Precipitation is expected. Oh please,oh please some sleet so we can get a sweet ice day and sip cocoa all morning. Would be nice to catch the Suzy Snowflake cartoon and feel like I am seven years old again.
