Christmas
Greetings

From the Back Row of History

The annual Sometimes Weekly Christmas Greeting is the continuation of a forgotten tradition first founded over a century ago by another Nick Butler — Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, no relation, 1862-1947 — whose annual holiday greeting to the nation was published every Christmas by the New York Times. My holiday greeting to the nation is published every Christmas right here, on Sometimes Weekly .
