Reply #2: I'm so sorry....

I left out a crucial detail...the ad included images of decorated Xmas trees...it was an ad for a store--or, actually, I think, a portion of a department store, given over to selling Christmas stuff. Back at that time Xmas specialty stores were much much less common and it may have been a big deal to have so much Xmas stuff available.

For as much as I'm not a fundie or a thumper I still get goose-bumps listening to the astronauts' reading of Genesis from lunar orbit on that Xmas Eve. Thanks for reminding me of that, and again my apologies for the omission.
