Would I be wrong to suggest Walt Disney?
Yes.
We should have dueling podcasts -- yours that would support WD for the Christmas Hall of Famy and mine that would scoff at that idea.

Actually the Christmas Hall of Fame won't only be a podcast episode...it's going to be, well, a Hall of Fame.Wow! Didn’t expect to be shot down so thoroughly lol
Edit: IS the Christmas Hall of Fame really going to be a future podcast episode? If so, it’s brilliant!
I don't think so at all. How can you skip on those? I don't think there are enough Robert Shaws and Norman Luboff Choirs any more. We cannot let the legacy of chorale and orchestra be forgotten in the Hall of Fame conversation.Would it be getting too "granular" to include some of the great choirs/orchestras that have been part of our Christmas for years and have become classics? The MTC, the Robert Shaw Chorale, Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians, the Norman Luboff Choir, Percy Faith, Spike Jones, etc.? The ones that have been the "sound of Christmas" for decades. (Maybe that opens it up too wide and removes the barrier between the classics and the Hall of Famers.)
I'm glad to hear that ... my Christmas music library is stuffed with those folks ... without the sound of those choirs and orchestras, there would be a big hole in my Christmas season.I don't think so at all.

You've got your Babes in Toyland movie, Pluto's Christmas Tree animated short, Silent Night and other Christmas Carols record...and that's just while he was alive, the company he made is responsible for Mickey's Christmas Carol, the Santa ClausE, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Muppet Christmas Carrol, etc.What was it that Walt contributed to Christmas again?

Something like that. We can do anything we want, right?Wait! Like a building I can go visit?!
Are characters worthy of consideration?
Like Scrooge, Ralphie, and Cousin Eddie (ok...Eddie is a stretch).

But for me, the biggest thing is the parks. Disneyland had a big celebration for Christmas every year since they opened. And the annual Christmas parade has become a yearly televised event!

We can accept anyone as an nominee. I think Jim Henson would be an interesting one to consider.Will you accept Mr. Jim Henson as a nominee?
Hi Tim, there's so many deserving inductees for the Christmas Hall of Fame, I could mention. But here goes with the one that come to mind straight away. Coca-Cola, because soon as I see there advert on TV I know Christmas is on its way
