I think I have one more Christmas present for you that was stuck all the way in the back of the
tree - the 1947 film, Miracle On 34th Street -
Unbeknownst to most parade watchers, Edmund Gwenn played Santa Claus in the actual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade held November 28, 1946. He fulfilled the duties of most parade Santas,
including addressing the crowd from the marquee of Macy's after the parade was over. He was
introduced to the crowd by Philip Tonge (who played Mr. Shellhammer in the movie.)
I'm cleaning off the desk and posting a few things I meant to do during the holidays but never got to it:
If you don't stop by tomorrow, have the happiest of New Years. And remember bunkies, don't
drink and drive tomorrow.
Demand Euphoria!
