Christmases Past

Nothing put the "family" in Toronto Sun Family more than the

celebration of Christmas at 333 King Street East.

The Christmas party, the decorations.

And a firm handshake from Doug Creighton during a reception in a

festive sixth floor boardroom, with SUNshine Girls, refreshments.

cookies and a cop.

Doug's handshake said "thank you for your part in making the Sun a

success story."

Beside Doug, a table covered with sealed envelopes and in each and

every envelope was a week's pay - in cash - for employees. (Thus, the

cop.)

With the cash, an illustrated Christmas card showing the Three Wise

Men - co-founders Doug, Peter Worthington and Don Hunt - wishing us

all a Merry Christmas.

And the Sun being what it was in those years, we did have merry

Christmases and a lot of happy new years.
