As our traditions
are besieged by malcontents determined to denigrate, impugn, and ultimately erase
memories of holidays and events that have meant so much to families and friends,
I feel compelled to resist the movement by documenting parts of the past that will
allow us to wax nostalgic over our cherished traditions. Intimidation and violence is
part of the strategic calculus; we have seen it in spades in 2020, and 2021
promises to be even worse. The
Cancel Culture might
eventually win out with the complicity of government agents both elected and unelected,
but I'm not going down without a fight. Here is a collection of twentieth century,
December issue QST magazine covers with Christmas themes that will no doubt
be familiar to many of you. Finding them was more difficult than I thought it would
be, and I was surprised to learn many years did not include a Christmas theme on
the cover. As usual when looking for vintage items, eBay turned out to be the best
source of images.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
