On the 12th day of Bluffton Christmas, the Bluffton Icon printed photos of the holiday window winners on Main Street and in Bluffton front lawns.
We also offered some photos of new traditions starting this year. Including this tree ornament-greeting from Jamie Nygaard, which carries a special Bluffton touch.
Christmas in downtown Bluffton in the early 1950s. There's Santa with a Santa Halloween mask. Our guess is that Bob Crow and Paul Steiner on working the PA system.
We're pretty certain that Al McCluer is Santa, and we are going to make a stab on the ID of the kids on the platform. On the far left, it looks like Dan Lehman, then Francis Harkness, Judy Harness and Donna McClure. That's as far as we can go.

In the spirit of this year’s Blaze of Lights, the Icon offers viewers a daily local gift idea based upon the 12 Days of Christmas theme. There’s no need to shop out of town or on the internet for Christmas gifts this year.
