From the desk of Jane Galt:Home for the Holidays This
Home for the Holidays
This editorial in the New York Post points out that our boys & girls overseas won't be home for Christmas, and urges us to write postcards for them. A good idea, and I'm certainly going to try to make the time.
I don't know why I pointed this out, except that it put me in mind of Bing Crosby's song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" -- and I realized for the first time, what it meant to a nation of people who were missing large chunks of their family during the holiday season. After all this, World War II nostalgia is simultaneously less romantic and more moving.
