For the Christmas
holiday season Graceland have been adding
some 'Celebrity Holiday Greetings' featuring
not only telegrams and cards from Elvis and
The Colonel, but also Christmas cards to
Elvis. Who would have thought actress Jayne Mansfield
(right)
would have sent Elvis her personal Christmas
wishes! Some of the telegrams from the wily
old Colonel also make interesting reading.
In his 1960 Christmas telegram to Bob Hope,
The Colonel can't help himself and asks Bob
Hope to "Be sure and mention my special
Elvis Presley paper hats for the Christmas
season on your show for 'GI Blues'." In
another telegram The Colonel asks Liberace
to sing Happy Birthday to Elvis in his show
as "Your fans and Elvis will appreciate
this very much."! The EPE Greetings
page is updated each week,
