That’s a fascinating article. I suppose it was also a New York advertising agency that gave us Santa draped in “Coca-cola red.”

I read the story this AM.

It’s a nice story; I hope that it is read and appreciated as such.

Often, the mention of NYC illicits a certain small degree of animosity, let’s hope that doesn’t happen here.

Yes, Christmas should be first and foremost a religious celebration, and yes, the commercialization of the birth of Christ is wont to be frowned upon. But how we celebrate Christmas is up to each of us undividually, yes?

There is no denying the joy and wonderment on the faces of our children and grandchildren when these iconic images and songs fill the air and the airwaves.

So...thanks New York.

P.S.: Irving Berlin penned at least part of “White Christmas” while sunning himself poolside at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix.

Oh, brother. This is reminiscent of the Russians claiming they invented everything.

“They figured, quite correctly, that the fastest way to a parent’s wallet was through their children.”

Thooooooooose BASTARDS!

Ah, Merry Christmas all the same.

Thanks for the ping...I was just telling my friend about this and she was incredulous. Now I have a great source.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a terrific New Year!
