Christinas Trivia
• In today’s world of mega
mass marketing, it wouldn’t even
be a drop in the .proverbial buck
et... but back in 1843, John Calcott
Horsley’s holiday invention was a
very big deal. A professional illus
trator, Horsley is credited with
having conceived the first Chirs
tmas card. It sold nearly 1,000
copies a far cry from the 2.2
billion Christmas cards that
Americans paper the country with
today.
• Life below the Mason-Dixon
line of the late twentieth century
continues to exhibit its own reg
ional character in many ways... for
example, one of the traditional
Christmas dinners that is a big hit

MILK. U DOES A BODY GOOD.

• Who was Thomas Nast and
what was his contribution to the
holidays? Nast was a famous car
toonist of the mid-1800s for Har
per’s Weekly magazine. He is cre
dited with having first portrayed
the “modem” Santa Claus we all
know and love so well today.
• Our favorite holiday movie of
all time? The Jimmy Stewart
classic “It’s A Wonderful Life,”
it’s the most-watched of all the
Hollywood holiday hits, accord
ing to Blockbuster Video. Of
course what holiday season is
complete without digesting this
Hollywood chestnut at least once?

from the North Pole? Why not the
