A nostalgic look through a 1959 Eaton's Christmas Catalogue.  I am not the copyright owner of the song Toyland written by Victor Herbert and Glen MacDonough and sung here by Doris Day. I will not receive any monetary compensation for the time it took me to put this little production together or by displaying it here. However, due to the current laws and YouTube regulations, this video will NOT be able to be viewed in some countries. I apologize for that. I would appreciate if you could take a moment of your time to leave a brief comment to let me know: 1) Is the video viewable to your or not? 2) Is just the sound muted? 3) What is your geographical location? 4) On what platform did you find this? ie: Facebook, YouTube, Dog On A Root etc. I mean Eaton's nor the copyright owners of this song no disrespect.

The Best Mojitos North Of Havana

These days I am most often mistaken for a certain jolly fellow we all know that lives a bit further north. To people who ask if I mind this reference in public, I usually reply, "One of my friends from high school looks a bit like Charles Manson and my son, in his younger days, was once told he looked like Paul Bernardo. So taking that into consideration, I don’t mind being confused with a celebrity who is generally loved all around the world.” But before my hair and beard was quite this long, whenever I traveled to Jamaica or Cuba I was most often called “Hemmingway” . That Ernest Hemmingway is one of my favourite writers was a happy coincidence although I was fully aware the reference had everything to do with my appearance and nothing to do with my writing skills. I was also not naive enough to know that the staff of the resorts we stayed at would use tactics such as this in the hopes of procuring generous tips. But when the recognition often also came from fellow travelers and...
