"Christmas 1951" is a fictionalized account of Christmas with my family in that year. That's been posted for a few years, right here.
The other is an account of the decorating of Greengate Mall in Greensburg, PA, in 1981, with photos I took of the results in the days after. I did that for my book, The Malling of America (which still makes a fine last minute Christmas gift, which you can order from your favorite online bookseller.) An account of that all-night decorating appears in that book. But I've just reposted excerpts from that chapter, along with photos (some posted on another blog, others never posted before) and more about Greengate and Christmas there (apparently a subject of ongoing nostalgia back home.) It's all on Kowincidence, my repository for articles and reviews published long ago (though not always in this form.) The direct link to Greengate Christmas is here.
So happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and see you back here after.
