Gil recalls three gifts from Baltimore Christmases past, and concludes that if he had to choose one gift of the three to send to listeners, it would be of the Christmas window gardens of the downtown department stores so beloved by Baltimoreans into the 1950s. There was one window garden in particular that offered to all who saw it the gift of joy.
