A Vile Christmas List
Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts: His and Hers
The famous Neiman Marcus Christmas Book started as a Christmas card in 1915 inviting customers to start their holiday shopping. The Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog (16 pages) was first produced in 1926, but it wasn't until 1959 that the unique gifts Neiman Marcus has become famous for began appearing in its pages — a Black Angus steer, delivered on the hoof or in steaks.
