Let Poetry Preserve the SeasonBy Jonathan Joy I’m probably not the only one out there whose first Christmas memories involve an Atari 2600, the video gaming system on everybody’s holiday wish list in 1981. The whole family gathered around playing Pac Man, Space Invaders, Breakout, and more. Mom was especially fond of Frogger, a game where your joystick controlled a frog, and you maneuvered it through all kinds of dangers to safety on the other side of a highway and across a river.
