Madam, - Christopher Herbert (December 9th), who takes sardonic umbrage at the phrase, "Come let us adore it", perhaps failed to detect a certain irony in the advertisement in question, designed to raise a smile from those who would agree with his own feeling about the commercialisation of Christmas.
For this reader, the advertisement revived fond memories of the great Stan Freberg who came up with the line, "Hark the Herald Tribune sings, advertising wondrous things". And that wasn't today or last Christmas. - Yours, etc.,
ÉANNA BROPHY, Bettyglen, Dublin 5.
