From Germany to Los Angeles's Studio 60, Santa has been showing his affinity to another party in which red and white figure prominently in the color scheme: the National Socialist Party. This week's Nazi Santa Tracker takes us to Oberlin, a small Ohio town where gingerbread men recently held a Nazi-rally in a hardware store window. The 22 g-men, whose strangely swarthy dough-tone belied a lack of understanding of the Nazi doctrine, were dispersed by their creator, a 50-year old artist Kieth McGuckin who some call the William Blake of the Midwest. McGuckin, not to be discouraged by the timbre and ferocity of the complaints against the rally, quickly reconvened the Fascist cookies in a holiday window in the nearby town of Wellington. Though the outcry over the window display is most likely to earn McGuckin lumps of coal, he doesn't seem to mind. "The better to burn books with!" he cried. If you spy a Nazi Santa or other Third Reichian Christmas decorations, let us know! Send your sightings to tips@gridskipper.com.
