Must be Christmas cookies – back in the day – most of the Christmas gifts we exchanged were home-made gifts – like fruit cake, cookies, fudge, blankets, pillows, hand-carved horses, hand-sewn rag dolls. Christmas cards were also usually hand made and delivered in person – not by sending them in the mail. My grandmother had a scrap book of every card she ever received and 90 % of them were hand made.
Great to see the kids enjoying the holidays with a little shopping for Christmas gifts, Santa probably passed out because what the Department sotre REALLY wants is for ALL the kids to REALLY want a whole LOT of stuff!
That Sluggo is such a versatile athlete – today he’s getting together with friends to toss around the football – tomorrow he’s learning the fine points of golf.
Got to love the Olden Days – Not only is Nancy ready to celebrate the Holidays – But that bell ringing Santa is probably ringing the bell to help out orphaned kids – like Nancy. Bell ringing Santas all deserve some love and appreciation.
Sounds like someone is planning to celebrate another holiday. Just like we did in the olden days! Really great that someone at Go Comics decided it would be OK to find some of those Classic Holiday celebrations.
If Sluggo had a coal fired furnace and a load of coal we would have considered him well off indeed. Wonder if he was still doing his laundry with a wash tub and scrub board.
Acturally – back in the day – we learned stuff like the Virginia Reel and Square Dancing as early as first grade. Of course, that was in the day before we had electricity and square dances were a big community event – So, everyone got into the act – even the kids.n We even had a team of grade school square dancers who won a State championship once. A lot of times, introduction to square dancing was part of the physical education program.
