When I was maybe in the neighborhood of 8 years old (which would have been 1974), I swear there were commercials on TV that talked about "Christmas on the Dark Side of the Moon" while displaying images of decorated christmas trees. Don't think it advertised an entire store, but rather a portion of a department store given over to seasonal gear. And I don't think it was one of the local (Harrisburg) channels, but maybe Lancaster or Philadelphia. At the time, being a young boy fascinated with the space program, I figured that it meant the literal dark side of the literal moon. Much later I realized that it might have been a reference to the Pink Floyd album and an attempt to draw stoner kids who liked to get baked and look at Xmas lights (who doesn't?)--a Christmas version of Lazerium. Thing is...no one else remembers this. Even my friends who remember EVERYTHING from our common TV heritage (such as Jot cartoons and "Words from Unity") don't remember Christmas on the Dark Side of the Moon. If this rings a jingle bell in anybody else I'd be happy to know that I'm NOT INSANE!
BTW: Papoon for President! He's not insane neither!
