Holiday characters: The Grinch (ably portrayed by Hyundai’s Joe Guy Collier, who in fact stole nothing, much less Christmas), Mercedes-Benz elf Elizabeth Williams, jolly St. Nick himself, Newport Concours founder Mark Hurwitz and, in reindeer drag, photographer Greg Jarem.

Backstage at the Globe: Collier, Jarem, Williams and Hurwitz manage to get into character without the benefit of an aperitif.

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa. And sometimes he delivers cars to good little boys and girls.

Wish I could have been at the Globe Christmas party to share the holiday cheer! Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to my fellow NEMPA Members, Bugsy and all the good folks at Automotion, and of course, all the fine people at the car companies that all of us at NEMPA know and Love!
