A weekly column notes Christmas as a pivotal world event caused by Christ birth. It laments holiday rushes, urges safe driving on Christmas Eve, and recalls a reader’s anonymous note praising speed restraint and a tale about a Boston tire company layoff and cross country train travel.
The column blends old advertising quips with local life. It recalls Paul Kurt returning from Alaska to Monticello, shop talk about Christmas merchandising, family projects like a dollhouse, and holiday gatherings at the homes of Tobiasons Walker and DePue families with neighbors and relatives visiting for Christmas.
