When I start to hear Christmas music on CHFI 98.1 FM, then I know it's Christmas time.

Apparently, this starts Monday at 8:30am.

The tree! The tree! The tree (55 feet tall) has arrived at Nathan Phillips Square.

Meanwhile, Mall Santa is busy organizing his display and interviewing prospective elves. The number of elf applicants is overwhelming.

Technically, probably not a Christmas song but I've always loved it. Yvonne Elliman is an ethnic Japanese/Irish American.

I also love the version this version. Judy Collins is an ethnic Irish American.

I still call it a Christmas tree. Does that make me a bad person?

Liberal, virtue signaller: Anybody who calls a Christmas tree a Christmas tree is definitely a bad person. The politically correct term is "Holiday Tree".

 

[Darts]

Mall really busy to-day.

Everybody asking: Where is Santa? (Santa busy interviewing Elf applicants.)

Apparently, this starts Monday at 8:30am.

I was flipping through Sirius this morning in the car, and, gee, ch 14 is now programmed for perky Christmas music.

The elf interviewing process continues. These ladies also made the cut in round 1

My job changed and I haven't been back to NYC in several years. I was there a couple of times to see the lightning of the tree.

One of our Elf candidates brought her own lights.

Good news. The mall has decided to hold its own Christmas party.

Mall Santa caught these 3 Elf applicants while they were in the process of changing. The one on the left looked really surprised and quickly covered up.
