And, like Higbee's, it was famous in northern Ohio. Any child who grew up in northcentral/northeastern Ohio in the 1960s can sing the song, "Mr. Jingeing, how you ting-a-ling with your magic keys. On Halle's 7th floor, we'll be waiting for, you to turn the keys."<br /><br />According to Wikipedia, "Mr. Jingeling is the "Keeper of the Keys" to Santa's workshop - a holiday tradition in the region around Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Jingeling was originally sponsored by Halle's, a local department store. He served as the store's Christmas season spokesman on television and also acted as Santa's representative in the store.<br /><br />Mr. Jingeling became the "Keeper of the Keys" as a reward for saving Christmas when Santa lost the key to his Treasure House of Toys. Jingeling saved the day by making a new key."Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-60163797950500207562020-12-20T08:20:18.814-06:002020-12-20T08:20:18.814-06:00The Godfather, while famous for other reasons, con...The Godfather, while famous for other reasons, contained a memorable Xmas/shopping scene where MIchael Corleone and his soon to be wife Kate are seen walking in front of Macy's on 5th Avenue doing some last minute shopping.Evil Woman Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103228852708853261noreply@blogger.com
