years after the death of sarah henry married jane patterson the daughter of a dutchess county politician and sister of his next door neighbor between both wives henry fathered twelve children he published his good natured often occasional verse from 1787 in many journals including political barometer poughkeepsie journal and new york magazine his most famous poem account of a visit from st nicholas was until 2000 thought to have been the work of clement clarke moore 1779 1863 who published it with his collected poems in 1844 livingston died feb 29 1828 more on henry livingston and his authorship of the christmas poem here thomas nast s full realization of santa claus merry old santa claus january 1 1881 harper s weekly from wikimedia our views of santa claus owe a great deal also to coca cola advertising campaigns coca cola first noted santa s use of the drink in a 1922 campaign to suggest coke was a year round drink 100 years after the publication of livingston s poem the company s on line archives gives details in 1930 artist fred mizen painted a department store santa in a crowd drinking a bottle of coke the ad featured the world s largest soda fountain which was located in the department store of famous barr co in st louis mo mizen s painting was used in print ads that christmas season appearing in the saturday evening post in december 1930 1936 coca cola santa cardboard store display 1942 original oil painting they remembered me archie lee the d arcy advertising agency executive working with the coca cola company wanted the next campaign to show a wholesome santa as both realistic and symbolic in 1931 the coca cola company commissioned michigan born illustrator haddon sundblom to develop advertising images using santa claus showing santa himself not a man dressed as santa as mizen s work had portrayed him for inspiration sundblom turned to clement clark moore s 1822 poem a visit from st nicholas commonly called twas the night before christmas moore s description of st nick led to an image of santa that was warm friendly pleasantly plump and human for the next 33 years sundblom painted portraits of santa that helped to create the modern image of santa an interpretation that today lives on in the minds of people of all ages all over the world santa claus is a controversial figure debates still rage among parents about the wisdom of allowing the elf into the family s home and under what conditions theologians worry that the celebration of christmas is diluted by the imagery other faiths worry that the secular cultural impact of santa claus damages their own faiths few other faiths have such a popular figure and even atheists generally give gifts and participate in christmas rituals such as putting up a decorated tree for over 100 years santa claus has been a popular part of commercial cultural and religious life in america has any other icon endured so long or so well coca cola s film the legend of coca cola and santa claus ________________________ below from the university of toronto library s representative poetry online major henry livingston jr 1748 1828 account of a visit from st nicholas 1 twas the night before christmas when all thro the house 2 not a creature was stirring not even a mouse 3 the stockings were hung by the chimney with care 4 in hopes that st nicholas soon would be there 5 the children were nestled all snug in their beds 6 while visions of sugar plums danc d in their heads 7 and mama in her kerchief and i in my cap 8 had just settled our brains for a long winter s nap 9 when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter 10 i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter 11 away to the window i flew like a flash 12 tore open the shutters and threw up the sash 13 the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow 14 gave the lustre of mid day to objects below 15 when what to my wondering eyes should appear 16 but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein deer 17 with a little old driver so lively and quick 18 i knew in a moment it must be st nick 19 more rapid than eagles his coursers they came 20 and he whistled and shouted and call d them by name 21 now dasher now dancer now prancer and vixen 22 on comet on cupid on dunder and blixem 23 to the top of the porch to the top of the wall 24 now dash away dash away dash away all 25 as dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly 26 when they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky 27 so up to the house top the coursers they flew 28 with the sleigh full of toys and st nicholas too 29 and then in a twinkling i heard on the roof 30 the prancing and pawing of each little hoof 31 as i drew in my head and was turning around 32 down the chimney st nicholas came with a bound 33 he was dress d all in fur from his head to his foot 34 and his clothes were all tarnish d with ashes and soot 35 a bundle of toys was flung on his back 36 and he look d like a peddler just opening his pack 37 his eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry 38 his cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry 39 his droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow 40 and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow 41 the stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth 42 and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath 43 he had a broad face and a little round belly 44 that shook when he laugh d like a bowl full of jelly 45 he was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf 46 and i laugh d when i saw him in spite of myself 47 a wink of his eye and a twist of his head 48 soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread 49 he spoke not a word but went straight to his work 50 and fill d all the stockings then turn d with a jerk 51 and laying his finger aside of his nose 52 and giving a nod up the chimney he rose 53 he sprung to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle 54 and away they all flew like the down of a thistle 55 but i heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight 56 happy christmas to all and to all a good night online

always shows why his performances are so loved far away places is an old song a simple song willie nelson did a great version a while back sheryl crow joined willie for his 90th birthday celebration it s a simple song that calls to the wandering spirit many of us have i still get cravings to hit the road and drive places kathryn tells me we should fly to this song couples travel lust with the advantages of books and libraries a book that i took from a shelf it s pretty deep for a short tune with a beautiful melody tommy emmanuel recorded this with raul i ll listen to it a hundred times in

father of the constitution was born march 16 1751 in the tidewater area of virginia is it sinful that we do not celebrate his birthday with a federal holiday fireworks picnics and speeches and concerts maybe you could fly your flag if neighbors ask why tell them you re flying it for freedom on james madison s birthday they ll say oh and run off to google madison you will have struck a blow for the education that undergirds democracy journalists honor madison on his birthday and through the week in which his birthday occurs with tributes to the first amendment which he wrote and celebrations of freedom of information laws and press freedoms two issues dear to madison s heart there is much much to celebrate about him a few years ago i was asked to talk about freedom to a group of freedom lovers in north texas i chose to speak about james madison s remarkable and too often unremarked upon life later when i started this blog i posted it here with an introduction all of that is below in honor of the birth of james madison did you know that madison is the shortest man ever to have been president his stature is measured in freedom not in feet and inches originally a post on july 31 2006 james madison 1783 miniature by charles wilson peale madison would have been 32 library of congress collection i don t blame students when they tell me they hate history heaven knows they probably have been boringly taught boring stuff for example history classes study the founding of the united states especially under the topical restrictions imposed by standardized testing many kids will get a short form version of history that leaves out some of the most interesting stuff who could like that worse that sort of stuff does damage to the history and the people who made it too james madison gets short shrift in the current canon in my opinion madison was the fourth president sure and many textbooks note his role in the convention at philadelphia that wrote the constitution in 1787 but i think madison s larger career especially his advocacy for freedom from 1776 to his death is overlooked madison was the essential man in the founding of the nation in many ways he was able to collaborate with people as few others could in order to get things done including his work with george mason on the virginia bill of rights with george washington on the constitution and national government structure thomas jefferson on the structure and preservation of freedom alexander hamilton on the constitution and national bank and james monroe on continuing the american revolution we need to look harder at the methods and philosophy and life of james madison this is an opinion i ve held for a long time here i reproduce a sermon i delivered to the north texas church of freethought in november 2001 james madison s official white house portrait by john vanderlyn in 1816 in the white house collection i have left this exactly as it was delivered though i would change a few things today especially emphasizing more the key role george washington played in pushing madison to get the constitution a view i came to courtesy of the bill of rights insitute and their outstanding week long seminar shaping the constitution a view from mount vernon 1783 1789 the bill of rights institute provides outstanding training for teachers and this particular session at washington s home at mount vernon virginia is well worth the time check with the institute to see whether it will be offered next year and apply i am especially grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss these times and issues with outstanding scholars like dr gordon lloyd of pepperdine university dr adam tate of morrow college and dr stuart leibiger of lasalle university during my stay at mount vernon my presentation to the skeptics of north texas centered around the theme of what a skeptic might give thanks for at thanksgiving it is available on the web a misspelling of my name in the program carried over to the web which has provided me a source of amusement for several years here is the presentation being thankful for religious liberty as presented at the november 2001 sunday service of the north texas church of freethought historians rethink the past at least every generation mining history for new insights or at least a new book about the founders of this nation there has been a good deal of rethinking lately david mccullough reminds us that john adams really was a good guy and that we shouldn t think of him simply as the federalist foil to thomas jefferson s more democratic view of the world jefferson himself is greatly scrutinized and perhaps out of favor american sphinx joseph ellis calls him the science of dna testing shows that perhaps jefferson had more to be quiet about than even he confessed in his journals while jefferson himself questioned his own weakness in his not freeing his slaves in his lifetime historians and fans of jefferson s great writings wrestle with the likelihood of his relationship with one of his own slaves the old sally hemings stories came back and dna indicates her children were fathered by a member of the jefferson clan some critics argue that jefferson was a hypocrite but that was jefferson s own criticism of himself defenders point out that the affair most likely was consensual but could not be openly acknowledged in virginia at that time hamilton s gift to america was a financial system capable of carrying a noble nation to great achievement we are told don t think of him simply as the fellow aaron burr killed in a duel washington is recast as one of the earliest guerrilla fighters and in one book as a typical gentleman who couldn t control his expenses ...
