First of two commercials - "A Parisian Christmas." Parisian was a big name in Birmingham retail, the last 'local' name standing before its sale to Belk.

Yes, the "Wrap a Smile" was one of Parisian's most memorable jingles.

Ms Marino used to take very good care of me at the Five Pts West Parisian back in the 70's. She would call my Grandmother and tell her that she had the perfect outfit for me. We would troop down and get that outfit and two more. I miss those days.

Parisian was just plain awsome....there is no substitute for it. Belk does not have the customer service or the selection. The Summit store is okay, but the Trussville store leaves a lot to be desired. Wish the Hess family would bring Parisian's back to us!

Whenever I hear this voice-over guy, I've been dying to know who he is! He's definitely up there with the greats like Ernie Anderson and Danny Dark -- but he's virtually anonymous.

Parisian had a cute little jingle there -- did they use this for very many years?
