This is still my favorite Little Golden Book. The writing is superb, as are the illustrations. (This was my introduction to Richard Scarry's artwork.) 
Right on Archie! Love is where it's at!
Once I discovered underground comics there was no going back to Archie Comics. I liked going to the East Village to buy The Freak Brothers by Gilbert Shelton, Slutburger by Mary Fleener, and anything by Robert Crumb.
Crumb exposed Frosty the Snowman as urban guerilla.
A few years ago I read this book (mainly because the title was so good.) ~ Your Vigor for Life Appalls Me ~
but I can't recommend it.
The documentary film Crumb (1994 Sundance Winner) is worth seeing.

---about all the italics at the end of this post, I couldn't seem to undo them! Frustrating glitch! The documentary title "Crumb" was all I was trying to put in italics.
We must have been growing up about the same time - - just found your blog through Inside the Shell. Have a great holiday.
My favourite Christmas story has always been "the night before Christmas"!
Hope you're having a wonderful festive season!
Some titles are so good, no book can possibly live up to them. "Your Vigor for Life Appalls Me" sounds like it's right up there in that category !

Did you try the little eraser?
I know I have my Little Golden Books somewhere . . . but where?
I have a link to the Clement Moore poem,

It is THE outstanding Christmas poem of all time.
