| Full-page Lorain Telephone Journal Ad from Dec. 24, 1962 |
Here's wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year! Thanks for stopping by here each day to see what's been posted, and to read all the great comments left by our jolly gang of contributors, old and new.
I'm planning on taking my usual holiday break from daily posting until just before New Year's Eve. That will give me some time to enjoy the season, and also work on some behind-the-scenes preparation for some long-delayed posts (such as the Pueblo, Aqua Marine Resort, Don Hilton's new book and many others).
Of course, I'll probably be unable to resist the odd post here and there. (Actually, they're all a little odd.) We'll see. But I'll be back in time to post the annual grisly "Don't drink and drive" New Year's Eve effort.
Anyway, here's a full-page retelling of the Christmas story as it appeared in the Journal on December 24, 1972. That's Gene Patrick's well-remembered, classic artwork decorating the page, which includes a photograph of the Nativity scene in the window of Reidy-Scanlan Furniture on Broadway.
