Santa comes complete with helmet!
An old newsletter from Connie recent newsletter reminded us that there are some classic Christmas commercials out there--and we get to see them again courtesy of YouTube:
-NORELCO; go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y888mx7hMZ0
-REMEMBER GLASS WAX STENCILS; we loved these as children, but I suspect it was a way to get us to clean the windows first. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB28fvRqg4s
And of course, NORAD will be tracking Santa again this year. It has become a tradition in many households--especially via Smartphone! Just go to: http://www.noradsanta.org/
Yes there once a time when Chesterfields made a great gift!
A fab find from The Cornelia Cotton Gallery, many years ago---111 Grand St., 271-6802.
Next, a simply glorious old Christmas photo with all the bells and whistles, circa 1900-1915 (we think); spun cotton ornaments, toy stove, dolls.
And another shot from your editor's 2024 Fontanini Nativity featuring a small stable-like structure from putz artisan Howard Lamey---and re-purposed into a carpenter's workshop. There will be more. Again click on the photos and links.

-HOOVER! 1962; what every woman wants for Christmas!
But I know in some houses, this would ave been the equivalent of true misery!
