Antryg, Disney let John Wayne have his own way with the movie. As the star, he wouldn't do the movie unless events went as he wanted them to go. Even Disney didn't want to argue with the Duke.... [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]

MagiK, I know what you mean. 15 years ago the first official shopping day for Christmas was the day after Thanksgiving; now the first official shopping day is the day after Halloween. Slowly but surely, the shopping season crept forward; I fear that soon stores will begin setting up 2 seasonal sections--one for Halloween and one for Christmas--as soon as their Labor Day sales end. *sigh* In fact, there was one store in our mall that did have simultaneous displays for the two holidays! Ridiculous!

Speaking of Christmas...did you know that the date of December 25th was first set back in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus, a Roman theologian and mathematician? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
