TV's The Waltons Debuted (1972)
-- The Waltons is an American television series created by Earl Hamner, Jr., based on his book Spencer's Mountain and a 1963 film of the same name, about a family in rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II. The television movie The Homecoming: A Christmas Story was broadcast on December 19, 1971. Based on its success, the CBS television network ordered one season of episodes based on the same characters, which became the television series The Waltons. Beginning in September 1972, the series aired on CBS for nine seasons.

Read: Goodnight John-Boy
-- A memory book of The Waltons, the number-one television show of its time. Filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and profiles of people who appeared on the show, it introduces readers to the Hamner family members who later became characters on The Waltons, suggests events and locales that inspired many of the episodes, and traces Earl Hamner's life as a writer from Virginia to New York to Hollywood. Included are descriptions of each episode plus reminiscence, comments, and personal feelings from numerous people connected with the series-writers, actors, directors, producers, family, and fans. Heavily illustrated with publicity shots and personal photographs taken by cast, crew, and others, Goodnight John-Boy will be a welcome book for millions of loyal fans.

The Waltons TV Show | Season 1
-- In the dire days of the Depression, a Virginia family stays together in this beloved and wholesome saga, seen through the eyes of John-Boy (Richard Thomas), the eldest of seven children. In season one, John-Boy saves his father's life; beloved mother Olivia copes with polio, and the Walton family bond endures various other trials.

The Homecoming: A Novel About Spencer's Mountain
-- It's the night before Christmas, but Clay Spencer has failed to return home. Leaving his worried family to keep watch at the homestead, his son, Clay-Boy, takes to the snowy Virginia hills in search of his father. Along the way, he will meet an irate deer, a threatening county sheriff, a congregation of African-American churchgoers, and two elderly women who happen to be bootleggers — in this tale filled with warmth, humor, and emotion.

The Waltons Movie Collection (DVD)
-- Honesty. Integrity. Family. Stories of a family's - and a nation's - yesteryear continue in six Reunion Movies. Set in the 1940s is A Wedding on Walton's Mountain (will Erin have a change of heart?), Mothers' Day on Walton's Mountain (honoring the person everyone turns to when crises arise), and A Day for Thanks on Walton's Mountain (with Robert Wightman as John-Boy). Taking place in the 1960s and featuring Richard Thomas as John-Boy is A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (as a nation mourns the death of JFK), A Walton Wedding (no big-city Manhattan nuptials for John-Boy), and A Walton Easter (Happy 40th, John and Olivia!). Six warm Walton memories are yours to share. For fans of the family-friendly classic TV series, this 3-disc set features six made-for-television holiday-themed movies.

National Cream-filled Donut Day
-- Whatever flavor is your favorite, just make sure the day does not go by without having one or more cream-filled donuts. Donuts originate from fried pastries from Denmark. The first American who made ring pastry was Hansen Gregory. While in Europe, fried pastries still look like a ball and are often filled with jam, the American cream-filled donuts are filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, sometimes more like pudding.

Read: Glazed, Filled, Sugared and Dipped: Easy Doughnut Recipes to Fry or Bake at Home
-- Includes recipes for classic cake and yeast-raised doughnuts as well as for zeppole, beignets, churros, bomboloni, and doughnut holes—plus glazes, fillings, and sauces to mix and match. With more than 50 recipes and 50 full-color photographs, this cookbook will open up the wonderful world of homemade doughnuts to any home baker. Dripping with chocolate glaze, bursting with sweet vanilla cream or blackberry jam filling, or simply rolled in cinnamon sugar—doughnuts, however you like them, can't be beaten when freshly made. And they are surprisingly easy to fry — or bake — from scratch.

Krispy Kreme Donuts
-- 🍩✨ Nothing beats a dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed—light, fluffy, and glazed to perfection. The classic treat that disappears fast... grab your 12-pack of Krispy Kreme donuts before they’re gone! Great for the office, gifts, breakfast, or anytime!

Mini Donut Maker Machine
-- Use the powerful Brentwood Non-Stick Mini Donut Maker Machine to bake seven perfect mini donuts in just a few minutes. Impress your kids, friends, and family with a variety of delicious mini donuts, brownies, cakes, muffins, and more. Easily slide your mini donuts right off the easy-to-clean non-stick plates. Power and pre-heat indicator lights inform you when the plates are hot and ready. Vertical feet and cable wrap enable the unit to stand upright, allowing for incredibly small storage.
