Show Description

Christmas eve and Office Christmas parties. Shep recounts going to a Borden's Dairy Christmas party at the local country club. One of his earliest memories of Christmas. The watched a performance of poetry reading. "The Bootblack's Christmas" by Barney Mollely. This was the first moment of drama that pulled me in. "The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus" - Ogden Nash "Christmas at Sea" - Robert Louis Stevenson In the Army at Christmas in Fort Monmouth Shep got a 2 day pass and went to NY with Gassor. They slept in the swimming pool at the Henry Hudson Hotel. They ended up at the Stage Door Canteen where they met Dana Andrews.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
