Christmas and shopping go together like Santa and reindeer, like Scrooge and Tiny Tim, like the Grinch and Whoville, well, you get the idea. Rita was caught shopping without dropping in this stylish ensemble at the Palladium shopping mall on náměstí Republiky in New Town Prague. She is wearing a sharp white overcoat, a jumper dress and boots.

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
–Happy Holiday, Irving Berlin (1942)

It was sung by Bing Crosby and Martha Mears. Andy Williams covered it in 1953. The clip is from and Andy Williams’ Christmas Show with the Osmond Brothers.

Happy Holiday to you

It’s the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming round
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He’ll be coming down the chimney, down
(He’ll be coming down the chimney, down)

It’s the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He’s a great big bundle of joy
When he’s coming down the chimney, down
(When he’s coming down the chimney, down)

He’ll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree

It’s the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don’t forget to hang up your sock
‘Cause just exactly at 12 o’clock
He’ll be coming down the chimney
(He’ll be coming down the chimney)

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy Holiday to you

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holiday
