Is He Coming Tonight?

Erma Bombeck:

"There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child."

Deborah Solomon:

“...Rockwell had celebrated the small and local, not the global and cinematic. But the emphasis on the common man that was central to America’s sense of self in 20th-century America gave way, in the television-centered 1960s, to the worship of celebrities, whose life stories and marital crises replaced those of the proverbial next-door neighbor as subjects of interest and gossip...”
