In a humorous Yuletide visit, a nontraditional Santa arrives on a green snowmobile bearing gift vouchers and cash. He discusses changing societal norms, emphasizes family and giving as the Christmas spirit, and departs with a festive sendoff in a Gazette column by Mike Deupree.
Mervin Whipple in Killingly Connecticut has built a famed Christmas wonderland at his home and office showroom. With 106000 lights and 362 life size figures he greets roughly 57 708 visitors last year while funding the display largely himself and receiving community praise.
The Gazette states its printing uses soybean ink and recycled newsprint while urging readers to recycle. It lists Cedar Rapids mailing details, postage rates, and subscription options for Cedar Rapids and other areas.
National coupon supplements are not included today as the holiday shifts many advertisers to Monday edition.
