Description:
This program takes a look at the other side of the Christmas season. N.E.T. camera crews travel back to capture vignettes of the post-Christmas period. Some of the subjects covered are holiday tipping, holiday gaiety, the decline of holiday parties, and Santa Claus.
Host: Gay Talese, staff writer of The New York Times, is the commentator.
Partial Description of Vignettes:
Holiday Tipping: Questions are posed as to whether tips are given more generously during the season, and whether tipping falls off sharply after the holiday.
Santa Claus: A contrasting look at the Santas before and after they receive their instructions and start on their appointed rounds.
Holiday Gaiety: Points view of waiters who work during the holiday and the diners who are there to “enjoy themselves.”
Decline of Office Parties: Reactions to the trend of eliminating and discouraging office Christmas parties and the reasons for it.
