Shenanigans Happy Holidays from CL

Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 9:45 AM

The 1978 Carter Family Christmas portrait

U.S. National Archives
The 1978 Carter Family Christmas portrait

Ah, Christmas. That magical day of the year when we unwrap hastily wrapped presents with our teeth and then feast with friends and family members. And when Santa Claus jaywalks across Ponce de Leon Avenue to get a Filet-O-Fish. CL's overlords have thankfully declared that all staffers must remain with their respective family units and participate in the holiday for the betterment of worker morale. Therefore, posting will be light unless major news breaks. (We couldn't, however, resist sharing the 1978 Carter Family Christmas portrait unearthed by Friend of CL Brooke Hatfield.) Have a safe and happy holiday.
