Health Marketing Trend

A picture named xmas 05.jpgThis contraption has graced the top of our trees for at least 25 years (my wife will correct any rounding errors).  It’s from an old dime store in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District.  I believe it commemorates Chinese new year.  The pinwheels used to spin festively, but too many packings and unpackings have flattened them and rendered their joints arthritic.  Still, over the years it’s made odd trees look good and good trees look better.
