December 1966
This little magazine is a thrift store find. Due to the pristine, unmarked condition it is
obvious that it wasn’t mine! The picture
puzzles are undone and the Santa Claus paper doll has not been cut out. The magazine is full of short stories for
children, some Christmas theme, some not – some fiction and some
non-fiction.
To me, though, the most entertaining part is the
advertisements. A set of four hardcover
Wonderful World of Disney books are available for just $15.95. I wonder what would happen if I sent in the
order form?
There is a brand new board game too, as seen on TV.- “Hey
Pa! There’s a Goat on the Roof”. Collect tin cans, jump over obstacles, and
try to land your goat on the roof.
My favorite ad contains a guessing game. Barbie and Francie have brand new
dresses. Where do you think they are
going?
Francie just loves all her
pretty new clothes,
She’s always well dressed, as
everyone knows.
Francie is wearing a dress you’d
call “pop”,
Can you guess where she’s going?
She’s going to _________!
Is the answer A.
School, B. A show, or C. Shop?
You
guessed it! She’s going shopping for
even more clothes!
I’ll leave you with a joke sent in by 8 year old Lisa from
Connecticut.
“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Fitsby!”
“Fitsby who?”
“Fitsby Ginning to look a lot like
Christmas.”
