Christmas Trivia

According to the New York Times, the now beloved Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was introduced into our holiday seasons back in 1939, as part of an advertising campaign for Montgomery Ward, a catalog and brick and mortar behemoth of retail consumer goods that went belly up in 2001 after being in business for 132 years.  So Rudolph, sad to say, began as nothing more than mere commercialism.  Bah, humbug.

I want one of these too.

The New York Times published an article on November 14, 2019 that has me green with envy.  For the last 25 years Queen Elizabeth II has had someone who breaks in her shoes by wearing them first.

I am now taking applications for someone who wants to break in my Walmart loafers.  Pay and benefits are poor, but you will be able to hang out with me once in a while.
