Ah, Jack, that is the point.  Commercialization is everywhere, not just
the US.  Timeless is still timeless.  Besides, I think the proper choice
of customers in the Santa zone will definitely place the image in the
US: you know 150 kilo's in a bikini, or five kids under seven in tow.

Now you have me thinking of the Christmas stores in the Carolina's that
are open all year.  Hmmmmm.
