as commercialized as Xmas was accused of being in the 70s the North Pole-Hallmark Industrial Complex today makes them look like a bunch of pikers

basically we were still coasting on the cultural fumes of the 50s and 60s in terms of watching the same 10 Rankin-Bass holiday specials and Charlie Brown Xmas every year. and hearing standards that had been recorded 20-30 years earlier in rotation on local radio.

whatever Don Draper in the 80s who figured it should get scaled up Hulk-style should be in the corporate hall of fame
