Ok, I realize that Thanksgiving is today. Stores, though, all have had their Christmas decorations up since the end of Halloween!
Here are two video gems from 1984. The first is the lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas tree. Years before NBC broadcast this event live for the entire nation, the New York flagship station (WNBC) taped it, and showed it an hour later for local viewers. The entertainment was so-so, but that old Rockefeller guy always pushed the red button (sometimes with help from some kids) to light up the tree.
The CNN coverage of the White House Christmas tree lighting is also a classic. Ronnie was at his best. He even stepped aside to let Nancy push the button.
Anyway, Happy Turkey Day!
