Hop aboard the Santa special: Here's a special gift for my Facebook friends. There was only one Wanamaker's (not Macy's) Light Show and that's the one narrated by the great John Facenda. His son gave me this tape about 10 years ago, complete with the breathtaking Magic Christmas Tree. About 20 years ago, they cut John's voice from the show. IMHO, there's only one Light Show narrator! | Scott Bomboy
