Merry Christmas

It would help if I added a link to his profile, wouldn't it?

Merry Christmas Tammy... start a project...

A Christmas project is a great idea. Here's my contribution from last year

Virginia O'Hanlon

Things got rather hectic for me, and I never got the Christmas project started. However, I will start one, and we can see how far we get with it by Christmas 2015.

Here's a link to the project, Christmas:

It's really lovely. Thank you.

"December 25 – all Western and some Eastern churches" - wrong...

Bjorn, that was from Wikipedia. What should it be?

1. Have removed "all" to leave it more generalized, and

2. Added a link to Wikipedia "Date Section", to elaborate on the showcased sidebar date information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#Date

I wonder if the following shouldn't be in this project. It is a beautiful one and these are associated with classic Christmas children's tales:

Charles M. Schulz (Charlie Brown's Christmas)

Burl Ives (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer -narrator and singer)

Jimmy Durante (Frosty the Snowman - narrator)

Boris Karloff (The Grinch Stole Christmas)

Saint Francis of Assisi (Created the first Nativity scene)

Some more women:

Rosemary Clooney (White Christmas)

Vera-Ellen (White Christmas)

I know only curators have responded on this thread, but I would like to collaborate and issue some invitations to the project if possible. There are others perhaps. Merry Christmas all!

Added and/or invited the above I noted and these additions:

Danny Kaye (White Christmas)

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (The Nutcracker Ballet)

Darren McGavin (A Christmas Story)

Georg Friedrich Händel (The Messiah)

I am trying to find the profile of E. T. A. Hoffman, author of "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" - the original story for the ballet. Can't find it. Have tried multiple various of the name. I suspect I am overlooking it somehow.

også de bedste juleønsker og godt nytår her fra

Added or sent invitations to managers of

Thomas Nast ("Father of the American Cartoon") (credited with popularizing and depicting Santa Claus)

Gian Carlo Menotti (Christmas opera "Ahmal and the Night Visitors")

Added a few source lists to the project description. Merry Christmas!

Haddon Hubert Sundblom

Thanks Private User. Michael Caine is added. Also, Private User, looks like Haddon Sundblom has been added.

Erica Howton, the info from Private User is interesting. Will need to hunt the individual profiles up.

This is getting interesting, for sure....

I am guessing that Macauley Caulkin ("Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2") should be on the list.

More added or invited -

Edmund Gwenn (Miracle on 34th Street)

Maureen O'Hara

Natalie Wood

José Montserrate Feliciano García

This all sounds great! Yes, "Die Hard" must be on the list - or at least Bruce Willis!

Private User, a project index sounds like a plan to me. I have no clue how to go about that. Do we need to start sub-projects? Is that one way? Just let me know how to help with that. I noted some more resources for visual artists, but really I am not sure where we would ever stop with music or film/TV. We might need a whole project for Hallmark Channel stars.....If we have enough of them on here yet.
