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!
