newspapers on Christmas

I would think Christmas Day papers would be some of the most read of the year. For those that celebrate Christmas you open gifts and then you do a whole lot of sitting around the house, so random folks are more inclined to read the paper.

Plus, maybe it's just me, but when I'm on vacation I tend to read the newspaper more because I like to see what other cities do.

 

On Christmas morning I will be at my parents' house and I will read the Athens paper, the Atlanta paper and the NY Times — all of which they get every day.

I'll open presents first, most likely, but I'll get to them. My parents will do the same.

At the same time, I don't expect to find that much in any of them, so it won't take me very long.

 

We always used to run the football all-area team in the Christmas edition.
Because of the ads, we'd have a big sports section since we were printed in tandem with A. So sports was always as big as the A section and it was jammed full of ads and we were wide open.
Plus everything could be done in advance, so with the early deadline, doing the sports section was a snap.
The reality is, that come Christmas afternoon, at most places you are going to be looking for something to do and reading the paper is something to do.

 

The real question for me is why they print during big blizzards. We had a pretty big snow out here last year, all roads shut down. I had to walk to the office to put out the sports section. It had no local content and no state wire content.
It was never delivered. Seems like a waste of 30,000 newspapers to me.

 

Same here, a nice holdover from the days when this paper was family owned.

 

The more "useless" paper to me is Dec. 26. What do you even run in there?

Nothing is going on.

Stores are closed.

For sports, there's no games, except two NBA games. Heck, no Blue-Gray Game or Aloha Bowl (always a Christmas fave) anymore.

I'm not even gonna react. Nope. Not gonna start the cowboy wars again. Not going to encourage SC to post a pic of a cowboy lying flat on his back. Nope.

Dead. To. Me.

 

Mention it, and it shall appear!

BTW: You love me and you know it, babe! :-* :-* :-* :-*

 

Season complete with the NFR a couple weeks ago.

Thank gods for the AP's boxing schedule.

 

Keep talking to the hand, you cowboy-jacker!

 

You make it sound so dirty . . .
