I had a picture of Hudson's with the Santa Clause Castle on the front, but cant find it. Anyone have it handy to post? I always loved the end of the parade when Santa would meet up with the Mayor on the collonade......the official beginning of the Christmas season for me!

This might be of interest....

Cars, Trees & Traditions, a special exhibition featuring authentically decorated vintage trees, nostalgic ads, seasonal photos of Detroit over the decades and written narrative highlighting American holiday customs, is sprucing up the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills Nov. 18 – Dec. 30, 2006.
