“The holidays are a time to reflect on the true meaning of the season and the importance of friends and family,” noted Ed Laukes, group vice president, Toyota Marketing, Toyota Motor North America.  “A meaningful holiday message paired with the excitement of the Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting makes it impossible not to feel the holiday spirit.”
