And the bonus star.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for the links to the other pics.<br /><br />I just barely remember the Christmas star, pretty sure it must have been in the 1968 holiday season. I distinctly remember it rotating. Major, I would really welcome that video since the debate continues to rage, and there is no other way to solve it. <br /><br />Just simply capital pics today. Did you say these came from an Instamatic? Hard to believe.<br /><br />Thank you Thank You THANK YOU.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-9314106536979140152012-08-18T17:18:16.367-07:002012-08-18T17:18:16.367-07:00Thanks, K.

And I have seen that photo of Santa on the mountain before, it looks like he's standing on a coffee table.<br /><br />K.

Anyone know of photos anywhere that shows that? <br /><br />I don't think even Rudi Matt could haul that thing up in a rucksack.
