CLEVELAND XMAS MEMORIES

What made Christmas extra-special to a Cleveland kid? Relive some of your fondest memories: Seeing Mr. Jingeling (the keeper of Santa's keys) on TV or in person at Halle's; gazing at the giant Sterling-Lidner-Davis tree; stopping at Higbee's downstairs Frosty Bar for sweet relief after the long line to see Santa; ice skating on Public Square, a dazzling and elegant Cleveland Orchestra concert at Severance Hall; mouthwatering treats from Hough Bakery and traditional ethnic flavors from the local market; the brilliant display of lights at Nela Park . . . Dozens of Northeast Ohioans share their personal stories of Christmas past; includes recollections of people who made Christmas happen, too: former Santas, retail window dressers, entertainers, and of course parents . . .
